Hi:

I have read all the threads regarding this issue, but to no avail so I could replicate, including http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/upload-manipulating-files.html demo and I do not understand, I have a database SQL Server 2008, a table with a field called Docs varbinary (MAX), in my application (c# - VS2010) I have a radgrid, use a template field AsyncUpload control, do not know how I have to configure it to save a file to the base data, also not like I have to put in item template to show me the file name and click download, if someone could give me a simple example o explain how to do, greatly appreciate it.

Ps.: I'm using RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2012.

Thank you.

Well, i can't upload a file to database but i could to a folder, by now i don't know how to do a button to download.

I had a table called "Tabla" with 3 fields:
ImageID    int Key
ImageName varchar(100) ---> save the file name of the file
Path varchar(100)-----> save path, folder "Admin/"+filename

Well, in the end I could not upload a file to the database, but if I could upload a file to a folder. The problem now is how do I to create a function to download with a link, I have a field that stores the name of the uploaded file and another field which stores the path of the folder on the server + filename, here is my source code. please if someone could give me a help, greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
