I am trying to store whole files in the SQL Server 2005.I am storing them as image files as this seems to stroing the file as binary data
Created
Spreadsheet class
private byte[] _rawFile = new byte[0];
public Guid Id = Guid.Empty;
public string FileName;
public string ModifyBy;
public Spreadsheet(string fileName)
{
FileName = fileName;
}
public byte[] RawFile
{
get
{
return _rawFile;
}
set
{
_rawFile = value;
}
}
public byte[] UnCompressedFile
{
get
{
try
{
return Compressor.UnCompress(_rawFile);
}
catch (ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.SharpZipBaseException ex)
{
Logger.Current.Error(ex);
throw;
}
}
set
{
_rawFile = Compressor.Compress(value);
}
}
I am storing the file in database through a stored procedure as follows
oConn
.Open();
using (SqlCommand oCommand = new SqlCommand("proc_star_ins_upd_file", oConn))
{
oCommand.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;
oCommand.Parameters.Add("@id", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier).Value = ScrfFile.Id;
oCommand.Parameters.Add("@file_name", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50).Value = ScrfFile.FileName;
oCommand.Parameters.Add("@contents", SqlDbType.Image, ScrfFile.RawFile.Length).Value = ScrfFile.RawFile;
oCommand.Parameters.Add("@modify_by", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 150).Value = ScrfFile.ModifyBy;
//oCommand.Parameters.Add("@modify_date", SqlDbType.DateTime, 150).Value = DateTime.Now;
oCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
return true;
PROBLEM
I am getting back bytes[] of information when I retrieve the file.How do I reconstruct the original file back?
