Question

I have a link like this: C:\folder\folder\image.jpg . How can I save image to database in SQL Server?

If it was a HttpPostedFileBase I would knew how to save it, but now I have only a link.

• it’s a link because I exctracted src tags from tiniMCE editor field .

Thank you.

Example from msdn social:

table:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[FileStoreDemo](

                [id] [int] NOT NULL,

                [name] [nvarchar](100) NOT NULL,

                [content] [varbinary](max) NULL,

                CONSTRAINT [pk_filestoredemo_id] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([id] ASC))

code:

string filename = Server.MapPath("/Content/Desert.jpg")
using (fooEntities fe = new fooEntities())

{

    FileStoreDemo fsd = fe.FileStoreDemoes.CreateObject();



    fsd.name = new FileInfo(filename).Name;

    fsd.content = File.ReadAllBytes(filename);

    fe.FileStoreDemoes.AddObject(fsd);



    fe.SaveChanges();

}
