Save binary data in database

[netangel]

I need to upload a file and save it in a SQL Server database.
I know how to upload it, saving it to the server hard disk.
I also know how to read it from the database.

My problem is saving it to the database. And can I save it directly without saving it to the server hard disk? The HttpPostedFile has a property InputStream. Can I somehow use it to send the file directly to the database? NetAngel

At a recent usergroup meeting, a guy from MS showed how to do this. Here is a link to his notes:

It'll be the first one at the top: "Tips & Tricks". Most everything in his notes is pretty elementary, but there are some good things in there, too. Don't forget to check out the rest of the notes there, as well... lots o' good stuff.
