I have not done this before...I am hoping someone point me to existing sample posted previously.

I tried to create a Windows form that would allow user upload image and save to a permanent folder at the server and the image is croped to fit to a image holder in the Windows form. The path of the image is saved to a databse for retrieving.

Any suggestion is graetly appreciated.

Do you want to upload the file via ftp, http or just a network connection?

Hi pmak,

Before go any further, could you please answer the questions below?

1. What is the structure of your application, cs or bs? In other words, is the application server on the server machine a web server or a program developed by yourself?

2. Where is the data base, is it on the client machine, the server machine of another machine?

3. What type of protocol are you used?

From my experience, when we develop a client server application, we often choose the .Net remoting, web service or a new architecture: WCF. We can add a method which is responsible to handle the file uploading and saving data to the database. Then we need to encapsulate the method to a service. In the client application, we only need to call this service.

These are some documents about them:
WCF: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms735119.aspx
.Net remoting: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kwdt6w2k(VS.71).aspx

Please feel free to tell me if you need a code snippet or more information.

Regards,
Aland Li
