No, I don't think it is better to save the absolute path to a file in
the database. It is much more useful to store relative paths so that
the application can be moved as a whole later on.
The OP's problem originates from not being able to correctly resolve
the image path to the location on the server/system. Simple code like
the following should suffice:
---
string imgFolder = Server.MapPath("./pictures/general");
string imgPath = Convert.ToString(ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][6]);
// Check the path created here by using Debug or Response.Write.
imgPath = imgFolder + "/" + imgPath;
ImageButton1.ImageUrl = imgPath;
