in the sql server create the column with type: image. and in the asp, use this example code: (it's in c#)

    string con = "your connection string"
    var Image =  (from A in YourTblImage
                  select A).First();//to get one record of the table use the `first`
    FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"yourPath to save the image", FileMode.Create);
    try
    {

        System.Data.Linq.Binary img = image.imageColumnName;
        byte[] imageK = img.ToArray();
        fs.Write(imageK, 0, imageK.Length);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        string str = ex.Message;
    }
    finally
    {
        fs.Close();
    }

You want to use the VARBINARY(MAX) to store this data.

As to the code side, here is a good, brief answer.

From the answer:

FileStream st = new FileStream(@"C:\filename.jpg", FileMode.Open);
byte[] buffer = new byte[st.Length];
st.Read(buffer, 0, (int)st.Length);
st.Close();

SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("...");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(
    "UPDATE SomeTable SET image=@image WHERE ID = 1", conn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@image", buffer);
conn.Open();
int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
conn.Close();
