I'm new to Telerik.  In this case I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for.

I have a bit of ASP.Net sample code that allows me to upload Word docs and stick them into a varbinary(max) field in a SQL Server database.  (I am aware that there's a RadAsyncUpload control but I don't think that's what I'm looking for.)

Are there any Telerik controls or techniques that could help?

Hello Boris,

You can use the RadAsyncUpload control and extend its functionality so that a file can be directly saved in the database. I would suggest that you try using the approach described in the following demo - Custom Handler.

All the best,

Possibly.  A co-worker suggested RadUpload.  The requirement is that the insertion of the binary field is part of the insertion of a new record, not an update of an existing record.  The problem is that I already have home-made code that does this.  I'm not sure how close it is in functionality to your controls.

Hello Boris,

Using the RadAsyncUpload control, you can access the uploaded files on the OnFileUploaded event and using the UploadedFile property (that provides reference to the uploaded file) get access to the uploaded files. Then you can handle these files as desired.

Kind regards,
