Seeking opinions regarding uploading files. I've worked with asp.net and the upload control which placed the uploaded filed into a special directory on the server. In this case the db table recorded the name, description, and file path. I've also done asp.net in which the file was stored in the db table. I've always been a bit leary about the db storage but others have done it that way without issue. But this is my first time working with winforms after many years of asp.net. So I thought I would inquire from the general winform development community which would be the preferred method for storing the attachment, db table using varbinary(max) or the designated directory on the server?
Thanks for your thoughts....John
