SQL Server :: Uploading .pdf Files With File Upload Control And Then Saving To Database
Oct 25, 2010
I'd like to allow users to upload a .pdf file via the file upload control (if that's the best method), save the file to the db and then retrieve it so they can click on a link and open the .pdf they've uploaded. I've been looking for a tutorial on how to do this but keep running into methods of saving the file directly on the server in a directory, not in SQL server (using Linq and VB by the way)
I creating a page where our clients can view advertising images and then able to download the images in different file formats. So I need the images and the different download types all saved into the same row in the database so that when I go to display them on the page when they select a picture the right download links will be there. So here where my problem comes in, I don't know how to code it so that I can insert mulitiple file paths into the database at once. The images are saved in a table called images. The downloads are saved in a table called Image Downloads.
Here is the code for the page I have it coded to submit the images to the database but not sure how to add the rest. I have got three different sql datasources for each table not sure if that's the way to go.
I've got a project that's going to go on a dedicated server environment. I'll be uploading images to the server, but saving them outside of the virtual folder path of the actual website, like so:
Now, this works fine on my home computer. Is there anything I'll need to do with IIS or ASP.NET (possibly in web.config) for this to work properly on a production machine? Settings or permissions that may need changing?...
It will be on Window 2003 with IIS6 and ASP.NET 3.5 SP1.
I have a async file upload control and I am doing client side validation for Image."OnClientuploadstarted" I am doing the client side validation.My validation is working fine but my problem is that the file upload control text box goes green (i.e file is loaded on the server) even if the validation fails which is I dont want.What I want is when the client side validation fails the file does not gets loaded on the server and the Async file upload textbox does not goes green.I have goggled but have not found a suitable solution.
I've dug around in the SDK and managed to connect to my instance of S3, go into my bucket and create an empty file, but can't figure out how to take a file from my computer and upload it. If I have dragged a file upload control onto the designer surface how do I set the properties for it in the code behind?(If I absolutely need to have a 3rd party uploader which should I use). Here is the code I have so far.
static string bucketName = "myBucket"; static string keyName = "sampleKey"; static AmazonS3 client; protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { string accessKeyID = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AWSAccessKey"]; string secretAccessKeyID = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AWSSecretKey"]; using (client = Amazon.AWSClientFactory.CreateAmazonS3Client(accessKeyID, secretAccessKeyID)) { // simple object put PutObjectRequest request = new PutObjectRequest(); request.WithContentBody("this is a test") .WithBucketName(bucketName) .WithKey(keyName); S3Response response = client.PutObject(request); response.Dispose(); // put a more complex object with some metadata and http headers. PutObjectRequest titledRequest = new PutObjectRequest(); titledRequest.WithMetaData("title", "the title") .WithContentBody("this object has a title") .WithBucketName(bucketName) .WithKey(keyName); using (S3Response responseWithMetadata = client.PutObject(request)) { WebHeaderCollection headers = response.Headers; foreach (string key in headers.Keys) { Console.WriteLine("Response Header: {0}, Value: {1}", key, headers.Get(key)); } } } }
i use to upload a photo to a server this piece of code:
uplTheFile.PostedFile.SaveAs(Path);
But the Path can't be relative (like ~\Photos\image.jpg) .
I was thinking of getting the location of the .aspx file from where i upload the image and attach \Photos\image.jpg to it, but i don't know how to get the address (location ) of my .aspx page on the server .
I have an interesting challenge. My application uses a third party's services and one of the functions is to upload video files to Amazon S3. The current solution I've implemented uses a simple form with a POST action set to a URL on Amazon's system. The issue I have is that because the form posts to Amazon, I have no way of doing any type validations before the user clicks to upload the file i.e. checking file type, file size, etc.
However, I really do NOT want to set up my logic so that the file is first uploaded to my server then to Amazon because these are huge files and we'll end up using costly bandwidth on both ends -- our server and Amazon S3.
P.S. To be perfectly honest, I'm not that pleased with the current solution where it's a simple HTML form with a simple post to Amazon. However, because Amazon is so picky about all the hidden fields in my asp.net page, I had to strip everything off the page -- including form runat"server" because the minute I have this, I end up with a hidden field for ViewState -- even if I completely turn off ViewState. There's always something left as a hidden field and Amazon was generating an error because of this.
Ideally, I'd love to be able to do an HttpWebRequest in code behind so that I can have the functions of a web form back and do some pre-upload work but I'm not sure how to upload the file to a remote destination without putting the file on my server first.
i am trying to upload files through the ASP.NET File Upload control.
Every thing is working fine, except for the fact that when i try to upload the file on the server i am getting an error: (probably some authorization exception).
do i need to give some rights to the upload up there on the server. If so then for which account and do i need to restart the server after giving rights?

I'm trying to use an asp:FileUpload Control to allow users to upload files (.doc, .gif, .xls, .jpg) to a server that is outside of our DMZ and not the Web Server. We want to have the ability to look at these files for viruses, structure, etc prior to saving them into another directory that would allow access to outside users. From what I have read about this control is that it will allow for files to be uploaded to the web server. Can this control be used to upload files to a server other than the web server? If it can be done where should I look for this type of functionality or how do I force it to go to https:servernamefolder name (Where server name is not the web server)? Would I have to read the file then write it to the other server?
I have a question about saving an image file with it's thumbnail in vb.net.

What is better way to large upload file. using a web service or in application itself. If in application, how can we check that files is to upload. actually i dont want user to wait for complete uploading, when it starts uploading user will get response of uploaded and uploading will be done in backgroud. I am not sure this type of task can be done in webservice also so that user doesnot need to wait for complete uploading. and one more query which event fires when the page redirects to another page. Is it Page_UnLoad or Dispose.

We are going to start accepting resumes online but I need to know if the uploaded files will be virus scanned before I park them into the database. I thought this would be a server thing but the server admin and the security guy both said they didn't know. We already have a firewall and antivirus software, I just want to know how things work with native ASP.Net controls and not a product to try.
