Sending Uploaded Image To Data Access Class When Storing Image In SQL Server 2005

Apr 20, 2007

I am using the 3-tiered architecture design (presentation, business laws, and data acess layers). I am stuck on how to send the image the user selects in the upload file control to the BLL and then to the DAL because the DAL does all the inserts into the database. I would like to be able to check the file type in the BLL to make sure the file being uploaded is indeed a picture. Is there a way I can send the location of the file to the BLL, check the filetype, then upload the file and have the DAL insert the image into the database? I have seen examples where people use streams to upload the file directly from their presentation layer, but I would like to keep everything seperated in the three classes if possible. I also wasn't sure what variable type the image would be in the function in the BLL that receive the image from the PL. If there are any examples or tips anyone can give me that would be appreciated.

Retrieving And Storing File Timestamp

Feb 20, 2006

I have a package that processes a flat file, which is generated by a separate system each weekday around 3:30AM. I would like my package to store the timestamp of the input file and compare it to the timestamp of the next day's file. If they are the same, then the package can exit without reprocessing a particular file again.

So, my first question is whether a package variable can be updated so that its value will persist from one run to the next?

Second, what is the syntax to retrieve the file's timestamp, either directly from the file connection manager or within a script task?

Thanks,

Phil

Hi,I am tasked with creating a site in two languages: English and Farsi (Persian), which is a right-to-left language.I am having problems with the Faris version when it comes to stroing and retrieving data.

Can I store flash files in the database. I have a table with one of the columns as varbinary datatype. Previously, I was saving images (as filebytes) into this column.

Retrieving Image From SQL Database

Jul 3, 2007

Ok, again, I'm reasonably new to this. I've been trying to display an image stored in SQL in a ASP.NET page. Pretty simple stuff I would have thought. I've read countless examples of how to do this online, and many of them use the same method of displaying the image, but none seem to work for me. The problem seems to lie in the following line of code:
Dim imageData As Byte() = CByte(command.ExecuteScalar())Which always returns the error: Value of type 'Byte' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of Byte'.Here's the rest of my code, hope someone can help. It's doing my head in!
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.IOPartial Class _ProfileEditor
Inherits System.Web.UI.PageProtected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
'Get the UserID of the currently logged on user Dim NTUserID As String = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.ToString
Session("UserID") = NTUserID
Dim Photo As Image = NothingDim connection As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MyConnectionString").ConnectionString)
Dim command As SqlCommand = connection.CreateCommand()
command.CommandText = "SELECT Photograph, ImageType FROM Users WHERE UserID = @UserID"command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@UserID", NTUserID)
connection.Open()Dim imageData As Byte() = CByte(command.ExecuteScalar())Dim memStream As New MemoryStream(Buffer)
Photo = Image.FromStream(memStream)
End Sub

Retrieving Image From Database

Sep 22, 2007

Dear Friends,
 I have read many solution over the net, but since I am unable to utilize anyone according to my needs I am seeking help from you people.
I have a table imagedata in sql server 2005 having fields name and imageperson. Name is string and imageperson is Image field. I have successfully stored name of the person and his image in database.
I have populated the dataset from codebehind and bind it to the repeater.
By writing  <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "name")%>I am a able to retrieve the name of the person. But when I pass photodata as
<%#photogen((DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "imageperson")))%>
where photogen is function in code behind having structure
public void photogen(byte[] dataretrieved)
{
Response.BinaryWrite(datarerieved) 
}
 But it is giving error at <%#photogen((DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "imageperson")))%>
The best overloaded method match for '_Default.photogen(byte[])' has some invalid arguments
AND
Cannot convert object to byte[].
Can anyone please provide me working solution with code for aspx page and code behind.
Thanks and regards

Retrieving An Image From SQL, Test For Null

Sep 28, 2007

I have an employee directory application that displays employees in a gridview.  When a record is selected, a new page opens and displays all info about the employee, including their photo.  I have the code working that displays the photos, however, when no photo is present an exception is thrown that "Unable to cast object of type System.DbNull to System.Byte[]".  I'm not sure how to test for no photo before trying to write it out. 
My code is as follows (with no error trapping):
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load, Me.Load
Dim temp As String
Dim connPhoto As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
Dim connstring As Stringconnstring = Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("connPhoto").ConnectionString
connPhoto = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connstring)temp = Request.QueryString("id")
Dim SqlSelectCommand2 As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
Dim sqlstring As String
sqlstring = "Select * from dbo.PhotoDir WHERE (CMS_ID = " + temp + ")"SqlSelectCommand2 = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(sqlstring, connPhoto)
Try
connPhoto.Open()Dim myDataReader As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader
myDataReader = SqlSelectCommand2.ExecuteReader
Do While (myDataReader.Read())
Response.BinaryWrite(myDataReader.Item("ImportedPhoto"))

connPhoto.Close()Catch SQLexec As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException

Image Type Storing

May 6, 2000

1. How can I upload new pictures into the database through the browser.
2. Can you describe how the new picture of the product would be uploaded into the database.
3. How do you handle different formats that pictures come in gif, tif, jpeg,
etc.

4. How can you say that SQL server does support images well, because on
microsoft site they loaded up the satellite data of the earth into sqlserver
which is only picture data

Retrieving MSG Files From SQL Server Image Column

Dec 3, 2007

As part of a web site I allow users to store documents in SQL Server 2000 using an Image column on a table. After the file is saved the user can open the document through the browser. This works great for most file extensions such as ".XLS" or ".DOC" but fails when attempting to open ".MSG" files (saved outlook messages). XLS documents will open in Excel and DOC documents open in Word, but MSG documents open in Notepad and display what appears to be binary data. I'm trying to figure out if this is a SQL Server issue or some sort of ASP/ASP.NET webserver issue.

If I attempt to open an MSG file stored directly on the web server, the file opens correctly using the "Microsoft Outlook View Control", but when attempting to open the same file saved in SQL Server, it attempts to open in notepad.

Any ideas?

Storing BitmapSource Image Data Into SQL CE

Jan 30, 2008



Hi,

I'm storing thumbnails in SQL CE and accessing them from my WPF application. The save seems to take place ok and there's binary data in the image field however when it comes back out it appears to be corrupted somehow. Can someone have a look at the code below and verify I'm doing the conversion correctly before storing in my image field? Thanks!

- Roland




Code Snippet
private byte[] GetArrayOfPixels(BitmapSource bitmapsource)
{
Int32 stride = bitmapsource.PixelWidth * bitmapsource.Format.BitsPerPixel / 8;
Int32 ByteSize = stride * bitmapsource.PixelHeight * bitmapsource.Format.BitsPerPixel / 8;
byte[] arrayofpixel = new byte[ByteSize];
bitmapsource.CopyPixels(arrayofpixel, stride, 0);
return arrayofpixel;
}



//I assign the byte array returned to my datatable like so:

MediaAsset asset = new MediaAsset(){

Thumbnail =
new Binary(GetArrayOfPixels(Thumbnail as BitmapSource));
}

//then I insert it into my tables collection
myDB.MediaAssets.InsertOnSubmit(asset);

//and submit the change
myDB.SubmitChanges();




Am I not getting that pixel array correctly for storage?

Thanks for the help!

Storing Pictures In Image Data Type

Apr 17, 2001

Hey all,

Just starting to investigate this. I need to store digital pictures in my database for use in claims and disputes. I have played a bit with the image datatype but notice that one picture takes up 1Mb as a TIFF and 3Mb as a JPEG. Does anybody work with this stuff and if you do what is the best picture format to use in regards to keeping clarity but minimizing size used in the db. Is there any load conversion routines that would shrink the size of the file.

Any suggestions or comments on this topic are appreciated.

Thx. Kelsey

Storing Files In Image Columns In 2005

Jul 10, 2006

I did some quick Googling and didn't find the article of my dreams here. Any experience with storing files in the db in 2005? Any opinions?

Here's the deal. We have our new 'Enterprise' software being designed and written in St. Petersburg (not FL) and I'm reviewing the design for dealing with letters and forms that are generated as hard copy from our business (by the thousands per month) and sent to clients for review, signature etc. Then they are returned by fax or snail mail.

The current design has all of these being stored in image data type columns in the database--storing saved files of the actual outgoing stuff and saved files of the stuff that comes in (scanned copies or the files from our fax server).

This screams 'BAD IDEA' based on our experience doing this in SQL Server 2000. We get things like 23 page faxes from Dr's offices, large packets of FMLA forms returned, etc. In 2000 they tended to get rather large when stored in the DB and caused us all kinds of headaches when Microsoft changed how it recognized and displayed certain types of files, e.g. tiffs.

Further, the outgoing stuff is largely boilerplate with added fields from the db--name, address, a few dates. My proposed design for outbound notifications and forms was to keep only references to the template used, the date created, and an id to link it to the personal info of the schmoe to whom it was sent--essentially, store which document template and then just enough data to map to the variable content that is pulled from the db. Then you can recreate the file that was printed and mailed at any time in the future, but you don't actually save the .doc (or Word .xml) anywhere, not in the file system, not in the db.

The current developers feel this is way too much work to design--and it is certainly more effort than just generating .docs/.xml files via a merge with Word and then stuffing those into the database. They also argue that having them in the db makes them 'more secure' and more 'accessible' to users around the globe.

Does anyone know if the image storage is any better in 2005 than 2000? The .docs & .tifs we used to store just about tripled in size when we put them in the db in 2000. Plus there were the defrag issues and generally it was an unsatisfying experience.

Does anyone know what the advantages/disadvantages of generating Word .xml files might be? Can they be stored as xml data type in SQL Server? Perhaps this is a better option?

If anyone has the time to digest this, please send opinions.

Thanks!
