microsoft sql server 2005 along with the microsoft visual studio 2005

Hello everyone, I'm in need of help.
I'm using microsoft sql server 2005 along with the microsoft visual studio
2005. I have 2 questions:
1) In the database server, there is an "image" datatype. I need to know how
to use that because I need to display images on my webform.
2) I read somewhere that pointers can be used to point the file path. So, is
it possible for me to store images / audios in a file and use the database to
point to the file path? If it is possible, how can it be done?
Thanks.
