Dear Friends,

I have a problem regarding saving the image into sql server 2008 database table column.

what process i have to follow in order to save the image into database as when i am uploading the image through the file uploader control in asp.net then on the click of the submit button i am trying to fetch the details of the file and converting it into the bytes format in order to store it into the DB but i am not able to get anything from it.

As my whole form is kept in an update panel so when ever a postback event occurs on some control the path in the file uploader control gets cleared and so i am not able to save the same into the file. Please let me know if there is some other way around.

Thanks & Regards

Hey Prakash,

Here i have saved the image in bytes into the database but when i am trying to get it from the database in order to decrypt it and display in image control, i found that the column of the image is not there in Datatable. I read from somewhere that the image can only be read from sql data reader.

Kindly throw some light on it.

Thanks

Just a suggestion, use varchar as your table column then instead of converting to bytes, you just need to save the path of the image to your server.

Eduard

I am not able to collect the path uploaded from the control in order to save it into the database. When ever i click on the submit button the page gets postback and the path from the Upload control gets lost :(
