I need help for a couple hours, will pay!

Hello,

I have been teaching myself VB and I have been working on a aplication that loads images from a website then stores it into a database. I just need someone help for a couple hours to write a little code that shows me how I should be doing this.

I would like to do this via IM (Aim, MSN, Google Talk, Yahoo). I will shoot over paypal payment for your time :-)

Thanks!

How much would you pay?

In general, people don't store images themselves in the database. Images are normally kept as files on the server, and the database stores the location or name of said image. Depending on the number of images, a database may not even be the right tool. XML is great for storing lists of items that have relatively little information to them, and .NET can read and write XML very efficiently and easily.

No,

You can store images in a database using OLE and I must admit I use it for file downloads e.g. exes rather than images. A file embedded in the database is better because it can have another name that another file has. It also takes up less files and backing up the DB is much simpler.
