Introduction: 

In this article I will explain how to save or upload word document files into SQL Server database and download files from database in asp.net.




Implementation:

First of all create a database ex. “Test” and then create a table”File_info”.
Column Name
Data Type
Allow Nulls
File_Id
int(set identity property=true)
No
FileName
varchar(50)
Yes
FileType
varchar(50)
Yes
FileData
varbinary(MAX)
Yes

Design Section:
Design your page as given below:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1">
<title>Upload Word Files to Database and Download files from database in asp.net
</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<fieldset style="width:450px">
    <legend><strong>Upload and Download Word Files from Database in asp.net</strong></legend>
<div>
<br />
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileUpload1" runat="server" /><br /><br />
<asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" Text="Upload" onclick="btnUpload_Click" /><br /><br />
</div>
<div>
<asp:GridView ID="gvDetails" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" DataKeyNames="file_id">
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#df5015" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="White" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="file_id" HeaderText="Id" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="FileName" HeaderText="FileName" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="FilePath">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkDownload" runat="server" Text="Download" OnClick="lnkDownload_Click"></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<br />
</div></fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>
