hi all,
i have some word files and i need them to be stored in SQL database in binary format.
also i may need to open same word file from the database itself.

how to do that?

i have the code to convert jpeg (image) files into binary stream, but no idea how to convert and retrieve word files

Try using:
                ' Determine File Type
                strFileExtension = Right(txtFileContents.PostedFile.FileName, 4)
                Select Case strFileExtension.ToLower
                    Case ".doc"
                        strFileType = "doc"
                    Case ".ppt"
                        strFileType = "ppt"
                    Case ".htm"
                        strFileType = "htm"
                    Case "html"
                        strFileType = "htm"
                    Case ".xls"
                        strFileType = "xls"
                    Case Else
                        strFileType = "txt"
                End Select

If you can upload images into a database through binary this should help. If you need any more help with uploading and downloading word docs let me know.

hope that helps.

hi..

  i am working on a network monitoring tool in C#. in that there is an option to take the print screen of the client machine and send that jpeg image(screen image) back to the server.

  i am doing this through socket programming. So i need to convert the jpeg file into binary stream to send it through the socket and then need to convert it back into original format for displaying at the server side.
   hope this will help you to understand the kind of application and the solution for it..

thanks,

Ajish
