Save Image to Sql Server in ASP.net and Retrieve it Using Generic Handler

1. Create a Website Project in visual studio

Add File Upload control.

File Upload control doesn't have an event associated with it to post a file to server, so add button a to the page

2. Create a database in SQLSEVER to store your image for example lets create a table named 'employee' where we store Employee's image with other relevant information.

Employee table contains the following fields:

Employeeid Int,

Employeename Varchar(50),

EmpImg Image. (look here the datatype is image/blob).

3.Add Generic Handler

Generic Handler file is an asp.net file with ashx extension similar to a normal web file with aspx extension. Normal aspx pages is used to handle "light duties" .But the ashx files can handle ‘Heavy duty’ like dynamically loading pictures from database .

Just as aspx files can be compiled on the fly (just-in-time), so can be handlers. Generic handlers have an extension of ashx. They're equivalent to custom handlers written in C Sharp or Visual Basic.NET in that they contain classes that fully implement IHttpHandler. They're convenient in the same way as of aspx files. You simply surf to them and they're compiled automatically.

The following example illustrates the implementation of a "generic handler". Here the name given is GetImage.

Add a "generic" handler to the Web site. Go to the Solution Explorer, right-click on the CustomHandler Web site node and select Add New Item. Select Generic Handler from the templates. Name the handler GetImage.ashx:

Generic Handler Code GetImage.ashx is given below.

<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="GetImage" %>

using System;

using System.Web;

using System.Data.SqlClient;

using System.IO;

public class GetImage : IHttpHandler {

public void ProcessRequest (HttpContext context) {

try

{

string empno;

if (context.Request.QueryString["id"] != null)

empno = context.Request.QueryString["id"].ToString();//Get Employee Id from Query String

else

throw new ArgumentException("No parameter specified");

context.Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";

Stream strm = GetImageData(empno);

byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];

int byteSeq = strm.Read(buffer, 0, 4096);//Read Image data from Db to byte array

while (byteSeq > 0)

{

context.Response.OutputStream.Write(buffer, 0, byteSeq);

byteSeq = strm.Read(buffer, 0, 4096);

}

}

catch (Exception ex)

}

Creating Gantt Chart in ASP.NET

Gantt Chart in asp.net

A Gantt chart(wiki link) is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. Gantt charts illustrate the starting and finishing dates of terminal elements and summary elements of a project. Terminal elements and summary elements comprise the work breakdown structure of the project. Some Gantt charts also show the dependency (i.e, precedence network) relationships between activities.

We here use jsgantt(Its a free JavaScript library for creating Gantt chart) to create Gantt chart having following features .It’s implemented using JavaScript, HTML, CSS and thus very fast and flexible. Since it is pure HTML/JavaScript you can integrate this with any server side scripting language.

URL: http://www.jsgantt.com

Basic Features

* Tasks & Collapsible Task Groups

* Multiple Dependencies

* Task Completion

* Task Color

* Milestones

* Resources

* No images needed

* Free [released under BSD license]

Advanced Features

* Dynamic Loading of Tasks

* Dynamic change of format (day/week/month)

* Load Gantt from XML file

Disadvantage

Currently only one Gantt chart is allowed per page.

You can download jsGantt from http://code.google.com/p/jsgantt/

There are many ways to integrate gantt chart programmatically, here we explain one of the method which using external data exchange between asp.net and JavaScript using XML file that are generated at run time using values from the SQL Server Database.

Sample xml file Structure that used by jsgantt. Is as follows

<project>

<task>

<pID>10</pID>

<pName>WCF Changes</pName>

<pStart></pStart>

<pEnd></pEnd>

<pColor>0000ff</pColor>

<pLink></pLink>

<pMile>0</pMile>

<pRes></pRes>

<pComp>0</pComp>

<pGroup>1</pGroup>

<pParent>0</pParent>

<pOpen>1</pOpen>

<pDepend />

</task>

<task>

<pID>20</pID>

<pName>Move to WCF from remoting</pName>

<pStart>8/11/2008</pStart>

<pEnd>8/15/2008</pEnd>

<pColor>0000ff</pColor>

<pLink></pLink>

<pMile>0</pMile>

<pRes>Rich</pRes>

<pComp>10</pComp>

<pGroup>0</pGroup>

<pParent>10</pParent>

<pOpen>1</pOpen>

<pDepend></pDepend>

</task>

</project>

XML tags in our External XML file have following tags and values. Here we describe the purpose of each tag:

pID: (required) is a unique ID used to identify each row for parent functions and for setting dom id for hiding/showing

pName: (required) is the task Label

pStart: (required) the task start date, can enter empty date ('') for groups

pEnd: (required) the task end date, can enter empty date ('') for groups

pColor: (required) the html color for this task; e.g. '00ff00'

pLink: (optional) any http link navigated to when task bar is clicked.

pMile:(optional) represent a milestone

pRes: (optional) resource name

pComp: (required) completion percent

pGroup: (optional) indicates whether this is a group(parent) - 0=NOT Parent; 1=IS Parent

pParent: (required) identifies a parent pID, this causes this task to be a child of identified task

pOpen: can be initially set to close folder when chart is first drawn

pDepend: optional list of id's this task is dependent on ... line drawn from dependent to this item

pCaption: optional caption that will be added after task bar if Caption Type set to "Caption"

Using Gantt Chart in your ASP.NET Application

Create a website project in ASP.NET in Visual Studio.

Add an XML file named Tasks.xml to project

UnCompress Copy paste jsgantt directory you downloaded from jsGantt Website http://code.google.com/p/jsgantt/ to your project

Add dropdownlist control to Default.aspx to fill projects and to select name it cmbproject

Edit .aspx page’s HTML do following step

1. Include JSGantt CSS and Javascript

Add this just before the </head> tag

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="jsgantt.css" />

<script language="javascript" src="jsgantt.js"></script>

2. Create a div element to hold the Gantt chart

In your html body

<div style="position:relative" class="gantt" id="GanttChartDIV"></div>

3. Add This script to html body

<script>

var g = new JSGantt.GanttChart('g',document.getElementById('GanttChartDIV'), 'day');//Here intantiating chart control

g.setShowRes(1); // Show/Hide Responsible (0/1)

g.setShowDur(0); // Show/Hide Duration (0/1)

g.setShowComp(1); // Show/Hide % Complete(0/1)

//g.setCaptionType('Resource'); // Set to Show Caption (None,Caption,Resource,Duration,Complete)

if( g ) {

// You can also use the XML file parser

JSGantt.parseXML('Tasks.xml',g)//Read data from Tasks.xml

g.Draw();

g.DrawDependencies();

}

else

{

alert("not defined");

}
