Save images to repository and retrieve it through Path with C # [closed]

Here is a code sample from my ASP.NET MVC5 application and the ImageResizer package. I made a model called ProductPicture where each record stores the image of a product and its respective thumbnail ( thumbnail ). Images and thumbnails are stored inside the Content directory of the site.

Model

public class ProductPicture
{
    [Key]
    public int ProductPictureId { get; set; }
    public int ProductId { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "FileName", ResourceType = typeof(Resources.Language))]
    public String FileName { get; set; }

    public String Thumbnail { get; set; }

    [Display(Name = "Product", ResourceType = typeof(Resources.Language))]
    public virtual Product Product { get; set; }

    [NotMapped]
    [Display(Name = "File", ResourceType = typeof(Resources.Language))]
    public HttpPostedFileBase File { get; set; }

    public ProductPicture() { }

    public ProductPicture(int _ProductID) {
        this.ProductID = _ProductID;
    }
}

Controller

[HttpPost]
[Authorize(Roles = "Uploaders")]
public ActionResult Create(ProductPicture productpicture)
{
    // Se foi enviado um arquivo com mais do que 0 bytes:
    if (productpicture.File != null && productpicture.File.ContentLength > 0)
    {
        // Extraindo nome do arquivo
        var fileName = Path.GetFileName(productpicture.File.FileName);

        var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(imagesDirectory), fileName);
        productpicture.File.SaveAs(path);

        productpicture.FileName = fileName;
        ModelState.Remove("FileName");

        // Thumbnails
        if (productpicture.File.ContentLength > 0)
        {
            ImageResizer.ImageJob i = new ImageResizer.ImageJob(productpicture.File, 
                imagesDirectory + "/Thumbnails/<guid>.<ext>", new ImageResizer.ResizeSettings(
                                        "width=250;height=250;format=jpg;mode=pad"));
            i.CreateParentDirectory = true; //Auto-create the uploads directory.
            i.Build();
            productpicture.Thumbnail = i.FinalPath.Split('\').Last();
        }
    }

    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        context.ProductPictures.Add(productpicture);
        context.SaveChanges();
        return RedirectToAction("Index");  
    }

    // Se a validação falhar e a tela precisar ser recarregada
    ViewBag.PossibleProducts = context.Products;
    return View(productpicture);
}

View _CreateOrEdit.cshtml

@model MyProject.Models.ProductPicture
@using MyProject.Models
@using MyProject.Resources

<div class="editor-label">
    @Html.LabelFor(model => model.File)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
    @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.File, new { type = "file" })
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.File)
</div>
<div class="editor-label">
    @Html.LabelFor(model => model.Product)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
    @Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.ProductId, ((IEnumerable<Product>)ViewBag.PossibleProducts).Select(option => new SelectListItem {
        Text = (option == null ? "None" : option.Name), 
        Value = option.ProductId.ToString(),
        Selected = (Model != null) && (option.ProductId == Model.ProductId)
    }), Language.Choose)
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ProductId)
</div>

View Create.cshtml

@model MyProject.Models.ProductPicture
@using MyProject.Resources

@{
    ViewBag.Title = Language.Create;
}

<h2>@Language.Create</h2>

@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "ProductPictures", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" })) {
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
    <fieldset>
        <legend>@Language.ProductPicture</legend>
            @Html.Partial("_CreateOrEdit", Model)
        <p>
            <input type="submit" value="@Language.Create" />
        </p>
    </fieldset>
}

<div>
    @Html.ActionLink(Language.BackToList, "Index")
</div>

An alternative is to write only the path of the file in the database (Path). Having in hand the Image Path, loaded from the database, it is possible to do the following:

private static BitmapImage LoadImage(String arquivo)
{
    try
    {
            if (System.IO.File.Exists(arquivo))
            {

                Uri urlImg = new Uri(arquivo, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);

                return new BitmapImage(urlImg);
            }
            else
                return null;

    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        throw;
    }
}

Then just call:

LoadImage("..\imagens\xxx.png");
