  1. Hi there everyone,

    Just getting familiar with this feature, does anyone know of any good video or text tutorial on how to upload a photo from a web form, store it in a SQL db and deploy it on a web page??

    For instance, Im starting a new exercise with a web app that will allow me (and my girlfriend) to enter the DVDs that we have by typing in the different fields (like title, actors, release year, etc).... that's pretty easy and I've done it.. however the dvd covers (jpeg files) I'd like to also upload them and therefore deploy them on a friendly web page together with their text info... haven't got those skills polished yet, so any help??

    Thanks guys.....

    Rod.
     
  2. It isn't really a good idea to dump the images in the database but you can drop them into a folder.
    The images would site in a folder on your site and the links to the images would be in the SQL Server DB.
    Much faster and you'll save on DB size.
    I'm not aware of any videos for this but you can find free code for it on http://codeplex.com
    And some of the Starter Kits on http://asp.net have that feature.
    Salute,
    Mark
