Question

I have a method which contains a file upload control. It uses the .saveas property to save the file to the physical location.

Then in my code I have a table adapter which inserts the file location to the database.
In the database a new GUID is created per new insert.

I would like to grab the GUID from the recently inserted row and append it to the start of the filename. Therefore do I let the method save the file, insert to the database and then rename the physical file with the GUID or is there another way ?

---

I am defining my GUID like this:

Guid GID = System.Guid.NewGuid(); 

Then i have this:

int FileUploadNew = FileUploadAdapter.InsertFileUpload(GID, path1);

The GUID column in the database is NVARCHAR (MAX)

Any ideas?

** Update **

fixed by using this: string GID = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

Answer 1

Also you can create your own GUID and send it to database when saving the file
Guid.NewGuid()
