Hi,
I have saved documents into my SQL Server 2005 database and they have been converted to bytes. My web page is made with VB.NET in Visual Studio 2008 with ASP.NET. The following is exactly what I need to achieve;
1. Allow user select document with a button
2. Select the document from the SQL Server table
3. Allow the user to download this document.
The error I am getting is that Category is set as Byte and it can't be passed through GetDocument because filePath is a String. I think that I am pulling the file path from the database wrong, any help would be greatly appreciated!
[
Dim Category As Byte() = Nothing
Dim fs As FileStream
Dim br As BinaryReader
Dim document As Byte()
Dim documentFilePath As String
Protected Sub ImageButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles ImageButton1.Click
myConnection = New SqlConnection("server=ORLA-PC\SQLEXPRESS;database=Edpac;Trusted_Connection=Yes")
myConnection.Open()
myCommand = New SqlCommand("Select FileURL from tblSubmittalFiles where FileID = 1", myConnection)
Dim dr21 As SqlDataReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
If dr21.HasRows Then
Do While dr21.Read()
For Me.Columns = 0 To dr21.FieldCount - 1
Category = dr21.Item(Columns)
Next
documentFilePath = Category
GetDocument(documentFilePath)
Loop
End If
dr21.Close()
myConnection.Close()
End Sub
Public Sub GetDocument(ByVal filePath As String)
fs = New FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
br = New BinaryReader(fs)
document = br.ReadBytes(Int(fs.Length))
MsgBox(document.ToString)
br.Close()
fs.Close()
End Sub
]
