The insert sql statement I have no problem with, but I'm unclear on the proper VB.NET code for uploading to the database. I want to store image name, image contenttpe and image data in a sql table, and then retrieve them later on to display. Also I'd like the ocde to be able to process multiple images should the user upload mor than one image at a time. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Please read:

ASP.NET code sample to upload to SQL database?

The sample is in C#, but I have converted it to VB.NET using Developer Fusion C# to VB converter. Please note, the code is untested.

Uploading:

Code:
<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="true" ValidateRequest="false" Debug="true" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Globalization" %>

<script runat="server">Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    Dim connection As New SqlConnection(System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ImageUploaderConnectionString").ConnectionString)
    
    Dim command As New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO [ImageUploader].[dbo].[File]([FileName], " & "[ContentType], [Size], [LastModified], [FileData] ,[ThumbnailData]) " & "VALUES (@FileName,@ContentType,@Size, @LastModified, @FileData, " & "@ThumbnailData)", connection)
    
    Dim fileName As New SqlParameter("@FileName", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 100)
    command.Parameters.Add(fileName)
    
    Dim contentType As New SqlParameter("@ContentType", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 100)
    command.Parameters.Add(contentType)
    
    Dim size As New SqlParameter("@Size", SqlDbType.Int)
    command.Parameters.Add(size)
    
    Dim lastModified As New SqlParameter("@LastModified", SqlDbType.DateTime)
    command.Parameters.Add(lastModified)
    
    Dim fileData As New SqlParameter("@FileData", SqlDbType.Image)
    command.Parameters.Add(fileData)
    
    Dim thumbnailData As New SqlParameter("@ThumbnailData", SqlDbType.Image)
    command.Parameters.Add(thumbnailData)
    
    connection.Open()
    
    Try
        Dim fileCount As Integer = Int32.Parse(Request.Form("FileCount"))
        
        For i As Integer = 1 To fileCount
            'Get source file and thumbnails and save it to DB.
            Dim sourceFile As HttpPostedFile = Request.Files("SourceFile_" & i)
            Dim thumbnail1File As HttpPostedFile = Request.Files("Thumbnail1_" & i)
            
            fileName.Value = Path.GetFileName(sourceFile.FileName)
            
            'Content-type contains:
            'image/jpeg; charset=utf-8; Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary
            Dim ct As String = sourceFile.ContentType
            Dim ind As Integer = ct.IndexOf(";")
            If ind > 0 Then
                ct = ct.Substring(0, ind)
            End If
            contentType.Value = ct
            
            size.Value = sourceFile.ContentLength
            
            'Last modification date of the original Nth file in EXIF-style format:
            'YYYY:MM:DD hh:mm:ss 
            Dim info As New DateTimeFormatInfo()
            info.ShortDatePattern = "yyyy:MM:dd HH:mm:ss"
            lastModified.Value = DateTime.ParseExact(Request.Form("SourceFileLastModifiedDateTime_" & i), "d", info)
            
            Dim fd As Byte() = New Byte(sourceFile.ContentLength - 1) {}
            sourceFile.InputStream.Read(fd, 0, sourceFile.ContentLength)
            fileData.Value = fd
            
            Dim td As Byte() = New Byte(thumbnail1File.ContentLength - 1) {}
            thumbnail1File.InputStream.Read(td, 0, thumbnail1File.ContentLength)
            thumbnailData.Value = td
            
            command.ExecuteNonQuery()
        Next
    Finally
        connection.Close()
    End Try
End Sub

edit: I am now receiving this error when I try to access the page I placed the imageuploader onto.

Code:
[SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationPermission, System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' failed.]
   System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet) +0

   System.Configuration.BaseConfigurationRecord.CheckPermissionAllowed(String configKey, Boolean requirePermission, Boolean isTrustedWithoutAptca) +108

Figured it out. Had to add

Code:
<trust level="Full" />

To the web.config file. Not sure if this is the best fix but it works! I'll try the code tomorrow and report back.
