Help storing and Retrieving Images asp.net using vb.net

Here is the whole story. I have a table in my db call Products.
columns are: ProductID, Product, ProductImage. Now in the
Product.aspx page I want the visitor to be able to upload the Image
of their Product and insert it into the table. Because of DB space I
was thinking if it is possible to insert this Images into a folder in
the webserver. And when I want to display the Image I could use a link
to the folder where the Images are stored: I do not how to accomplish
this.

Thanks in advance

Thank you for the article. It was well explained. Though I am trying
to figure out while I am having a login fail for user. I have never
use the sql connection drag and drop before. I am used to using
Dim connString As String = "Server=servern ame; Initial
Catalog=db_name UID=usrname; Password=mypwd; Network
Library=dbmssoc n;"

This article is well structured. I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks a million

What I have always done in the past is uploaded (using a form) the image to a folder on the server and then in the database table that I INSERT the news article, I'll store the path of the uploaded image. To me this seems a bad idea as if the image paths were changed on the

I networked the mdb file (only) across to my laptop and found the pictures don't show. So I guess my database table is only storing links to

Has anyone tried this in VB .NET or via VBScript? Can it be done? How do we handle retrieving a binary data format (the photo) using ADSI or VB .NET? All my searching on the net yielded no useful results except for a half completed Perl script which claimed to be able to upload and download photos stored in AD as part of the User account.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
