Question

I have asp.net application to upload multiple pdf files to Sybase database. But it’s time consuming to upload hundreds of them. What’s the best way to go about this task? I can bring the docs on my local system first. So I can use windows application too for this or any other option…..The time consuming part is clicking on browse button then selecting and then again browse button…..I want to have like check boxes against 800 documents that I want to save at one time.

If you can get them all in the same directory on your local machine you can use:

string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(@"c:\MyDir\");

to get the list of all of the documents and then just use a for loop to grab each file and convert it to a byte stream and add it to the database. You would not even need a winforms application. A simple console application would do the trick.
