Hi! All,
I'm stuck at a situation where I have used ASP.net Ajax HTMLEditorExtender to insert images and text as well, now I'm trying to save this data into my SQL Server where Column datatype is nvarchar(MAX), is there any other datatype where I can store both Text and Image and retrieve them as well.

Thanks.

Stop! Never put multiple values in a single column in a row. It can but should not be done. It is against 1NF principle. In relational database design, every row must not have a column that takes more than one value, not to mention values of different data types, which is your case of mixing text and image, They should be stored into different columns of appropriate data types.

Hi,

Yes there are some other datatypes which may help you

text,ntext and image but you should avoid those data types because they are going to deprecated very soon.

so what would be the data type.

you ca use : xml[^]

but it will increase your DB size rapidly
