uploading and downloading in asp .net

| Hi all,
I have a database application (asp .net vb) where I need to upload and
download files to a SQL database. I am not going to store the files in
the database...just the file name. All the files will be in the same
directory. I have searched around the web and found lots of
upload/download tutorials but nothing that is exactly what I need. The
webpage now will successfully upload files but I cannot download them
again. Maybe you all know of some links that would be helpful to be or
possibly some code I can plug into (one can always hope, right?) :)
Thank you!

| You could use FileStream to read the file in byte array from where you saved
them then do Response.BinaryWrite( content ) it to browser. This will pop
the download dialog for user to download.
Remember to set response header, for instance:
Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=test.jpg");
Hope it helps.

| You should be able to use Response.WriteFile to implement this
functionality.
