Web Forms :: Read File From Sql Server Varbinary (max) Field?
Dec 20, 2010
I have a function that will take a file uploaded by a user of my system and store the contents of the file into a varbinary(max) field in a sql server database. I then display the filename of the file in a data grid for the user to see as a link button. When the user clicks on the link button, I want the file to be read from the database and served out to the user as a prompt to download the file. How can this be accomplished? The upload is fine, it is the download I can't figure out. Here is what I have so far.
[Code]....
I get the download to prompt, but it is showing the name of my .aspx page as the file to be downloaded.

I was thinking about the fastest way to retrieve a "set" of objects related to a specific user. For instance, if I was to create a website similar to Flickr where people upload lots and lots of photos(jpegs) what would be the fastest way to be able to retrieve those photos from the SQL Server database. Scenario 1: You store metadata about each file they upload to the website as a single row in a database table. Then when you want to retrieve a specific users uploaded files you simply scan the database file for every row matching the UserID and store them in memory.
SELECT PictureId, UserId, PathToFile, Caption, (etc.)
FROM Photos
WHERE UserId=@UserId
This, of course, gets all the information about all the photos a single user has uploaded. My concern with this approach is when the user activity goes from a few thousand to being in excess of a million.
This approach seems fine for a small website but does this method work for a million plus user website like Flicker or MySpace? When you have a million users and millions more photos does this approach still perform at acceptable speeds?
create a collection in memory of "ALL" the PictureIds' for a single user and store them in-memory, in a collection and then save this collection as a single VARBINARY(MAX) field in the SQL Server Database. So instead of having to find multiple records in the Photos database you would simply need to find one, which would include all the PhotoIds' that belong to the user. In essence, translating into the phrase, "If you find one, you have found them all". And improving server performance by leaps and bounds. I only have about a year experience in working with SQL Server and ASP.NET so Im not sure if this solution is practical, if its already been tried, if it can be done.

I am storing an image file into Access database using access form. I am trying to read it out and render it on a webpage using ASP.Net 3.5 and C# but it has read error message.
But if I store the same image to Access using ASP.NET and C# and then retrieve it using ASP.NET and C# and has no problem at all.
Is Access store varbinary difference that ASP.NET store varbinary?

I have some code that allows users to upload file attachments into a varbinary(max) column in SQL Server from their web browser. It has been working perfectly fine for almost two years, but all of a sudden it stopped working. And it stopped working on only the production database server -- it still works fine on the development server.
I can only conclude that the code is fine and there is something up with the instance of SQL Server itself. But I have no idea how to isolate the problem.
I insert a record into the ATTACHMENT table, only inserting non-binary data like the title and the content type, and then chunk-upload the uploaded file using the following code:

I don’t know where to put this Query.
I am trying to open .dbf file from the server for which I have written below code.
Now, the problem is connection string accepts only physical path from the client machine where as I want it to pick file from the server.
System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection oConn = new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection();
oConn.ConnectionString = @"Driver={Microsoft dBase Driver (*.dbf)};SourceType=DBF;SourceDB= http://localhost:1308/CNCScheduling/...;Exclusive=No; Collate=Machine;NULL=NO;DELETED=NO;BACKGROUNDFETCH=NO;";
oConn.Open();
System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand oCmd = oConn.CreateCommand();
string sPathApp = Request.ApplicationPath.ToString() + "/";
string sPathFull = Request.Url.OriginalString.ToString();
int iPathFullLen = sPathFull.ToUpper().IndexOf(sPathApp.ToUpper());
string sPathPrefix = sPathFull.Substring(0, iPathFullLen) + sPathApp;
string sRPTFile = "XABCL.DBF";
string sCrvPage = "D:\databases\" + sRPTFile;
oCmd.CommandText = @"SELECT * FROM " + sCrvPage ;
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Load(oCmd.ExecuteReader());

filetoread = Server.MapPath("\servernamesharefile.csv")
filestream = File.OpenText(filetoread)
readcontents = filestream.ReadToEnd()
It works fine if I put the file in the local directory and use "filetoread = Server.MapPath("file.csv")", but won't do it over the UNC path.I'm guessing the problem is security related but can't find any info related to it, do I need to somehow specify a username/password somewhere ?

I would like to know your libraries recommendations to read and write Excel applications on ASP .NET website. I have tried GemBox and NPOI, because they don't required Excel to be installed on the server, but they have some limitations on handling Excel files that are marked to read only.

How do I read/write a text file on another server from a web page.I get the error "Access to the path '//Server2/mydatafiles/test.txt' is denied". I do not get the error if I am running the browser on the server where the files exist.I think I need to set permissions on the destination server in some way.

I have a problem that I have been trying to solve the past two days, but I cannot figure it out...I have a folder which will have 60-70 Excel Files or CSV Files (they are right now). There are no headers in them, but they all have the same # of columns and the columns are in the same order in each fileI need to read each file in the folder, grab the data from the file and put it in a Database file. So all files will be read and then the data from them I guess put in a DataSet and then put into a Database (SQL).
