title speaks for itself,

db.ExecuteCommand('INSERT INTO tCSVFile(fileName, fileContent, mimetype, timeCreated) VALUES({0}, {1}, {2}, {3})', filename, EncodeTo64(CreateCSVFile(header, rows)), 'text/csv', DateTime.Now );

this works fine from the virtual server but on iis inserting causes nothing to happen.

Also tried this..

 tCSVFile c = new tCSVFile             {                 fileContent = EncodeTo64(CreateCSVFile(header, rows)),                 fileName = filename,                 mimetype = 'text/csv',                 timeCreated = DateTime.Now             };    db.tCSVFiles.InsertOnSubmit(c);  db.SubmitChanges();

again works on virtual server but on iis no luck. any help would be greatly appreciated as i have looked on the web and havent found anything of use. My selects work fine and can select without a problem.

Connection string is

<add name='db_ac_motors_testConnectionString' connectionString='Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\db_ac_motors_test.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True'       providerName='System.Data.SqlClient' />

The insert is a call from a MVC Partial view and is done through ajax.beginform()

  1. After finally spending couple hours looking for some sort of exception I saved the stack trace in an event log and found this error 

    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Failed to update database '(database directory)' because the database is read-only.

    So with some fishing around the internet it had to do with a user permission restriction.

    here is a link if anyone runs into the same problem. I guess the debugging virtual server reads folder permissions differently hence the restriction only on deployment(IIS is a little fussy when it comes to permissions). And I was surprised that no exception was being returned…I had to do so much to access the stack trace, I don’t want to even begin… Anyways the link is this just follow the steps and it should point you in the right direction.
