I'm going to be writing an ASP.net app in C# that stores scanned invoice images in a database along with some other information about the invoices in the record. If there were no images involved, I'd already be halfway done, but I just don't know how to work with them yet.
I've been working with SQL Server at an admin and development level for about 4 years now and I am pretty proficient, but never have I had cause to learn how to store and work with images in a SQL Server database. I know it may sound rudimentary to anyone who does it regularly, but I don't even know where to begin. How to get images in there? What format? How to view? I simply don't even know what questions to ask, much less the answers.
Does anyone know where I might find a helpful FAQ or tutorial about working with images in SQL Server that can get me started in this endeavor?
Thanks!
