It's so tempting to use my keyboard as a pillow. I lay awake until about 4am this morning.

It's now far too late. The longer this goes on, the harder this is to fix. It's like hitting a deer on the way home and then deciding that it's more important to fix the fender than take the deer to a vet. But the next day, the repair shop is closed, and the next day, they don't have the parts, and the next day the parts are on back-order, but you still can't take the deer to the vet until the fender is fixed."

(With apologies to non-Americans, I'm speaking to an audience after all).

@Snow I added my own musings there

there is no politically and PR tenable way to get out of this for them except doing nothing

now that the monica protests have been linked to the alt right by association even less so

Good answers speak for themselves.

I just remembered why I don't come here much anymore. I got tired of the "omg, you told someone not to go to HR?! They should totally go to HR!!"

Blergh.

HR does not appreciate being called in for BS

I got pretty tired of edge-casers myself.

"I understand that this may apply in 99.8% of the cases, but why didnn't you include something for when a car hits a telephone poll, which causes a brown-out, which causes a power surge, which causes the circuit breakers to the refrigeration unit, which causes spoilage, which causes food poisoning, which could make the OP miss work"

voting-1

Exactly.

@Snow better yet is the comment "-1, you failed to include {something actually very prominent in the answer] in your answer"

lol. Or "There's a rule against this in Germany, didn't you consider this?" When there's clearly a USA tag in the question.

Kilisi brings up a good point. Could all of this nonsense be rage-click marketing?

Anyone experienced in MVC before I put my metal armour on and attack SO?

Trying to build the website for my new company myself before wasting a loada money and I instantly regret it

Chris E

@RichardU No. But it doesn't matter anyway because it's not like there's an alternative.

@ChrisE that's what Tech Republic said.... just sayin

@Twyxz I assume .NET MVC?

Yeh

Framework

I'm a little rusty but know a reasonable amount - what do you need?

2:15 PM

I have a model that passes through a byte[] which I have confirmed is returning correctly

I'm trying to put this image into a table with other data. ALl the other data goes into the table but when it gets to my img src= it just skips that <Td>

Sounds like a job for Serialize()

@Snow that'd be my first thought

I've used that before for passing entire class structures of data between tier-level calls.

how are your doing your DAL @Twyxz?

also make sure you've got the schema set up correctly - the column will need to be a varbinary type in SQL

if you're wanting to store the byte[] directly

That might be the issue

I'm storing it as the Image datatype

Or is that not a problem

2:29 PM

@Twyxz yeah that could well be it - you're not passing it an image but rather a chunk of binary data that just so happens to represent an image

Image is deprecated anyway now

so much zzzzzing these tests, I have the backend launched since almost 20 min and I'm still waiting result. And I forgot to add logging :|

@motosubatsu It doesn't like that change at all

2:45 PM

how are you doing the DAL?

2:56 PM

I'm not

I literally only have the tables atm

are you using EF or are you going to use sqlcommands/stored procs?

3:12 PM

SQL Commands

well I have used them so far, just bringing back the data and trying to display the image to start with

in a table so its looping through an ienumerable of my loop and display a row

but skips the image

ahh.. so you're trying to get it out of the DB rather than insert it?

ok.. well to get it in using sqlcommands you'd do something like this:

byte[] img; //the byte array of the image

SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter();
param.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarBinary;
param.ParameterName = "TWIZZYWIZZZYPARAMETERNAME";
param.Value = img;
command.Parameters.Add(param);

to get it back out, once you've got your data row it should be relatively simple to translate that back into the byte array.. something like this:

byte[] myImage = (byte[])reader["MyImageColumn"];

maybe ive confused the question

But I've got the bytearray back from the DB

its correct, the only issue is displaying it in view from the model

ok.. so now you just want to display it.. gotcha

In a table

not a database table

like a display table

And I have the code but it jumps over my <td> with the img src in

I'm assuming you've got an ASP:Image control in your td

would probably be a lot easier if I could see the aforementioned code
