What do you mean hex code? Bytes?
Just open the file with File.Open() and read in the bytes to an array or something then you can send them out.

i hav to send it on mobile and a moblie phone want it in hex code ,,,,

"hex code" isn't really code. Hexadecimal is a number system with base 16. (As opposed to standard decimal which is base 10)

Is the image you are trying to send mobile-friendly? Back in the day phones only took .wbmp but I imagine they can handle more.

Everything going to a cell phone generally has to be compressed (if it's going directly, if you go through a proxy'd gateway it will probably do the compression for you)

So you would say have something like:
string mypicstring="0x AA 0xBA 0xDD";
and then you would send that string?

Well if you read in the bytes, then convert them to int8, you cna then use the .ToString("2X") to display them as hex characters
