The Art of SQL Server FILESTREAM - Red Gate Software

Chapter 5: FILESTREAM with ASP.NET and SilverlightThe code we wrote in the Click event of the Save button will insert a row into theItems table along with the FILESTREAM data. Verify that the information is correctlysaved in the database by running SELECT * FROM Items in SSMS. If everything is set upcorrectly, you will see that the data you entered in the web page shows up in the SSMSresult window.Lab 5: Deploying and Configuring a FILESTREAMWeb Application on IISIn Lab 4, we created, ran, and tested a web application, all within Visual Studio. Bydefault, when you run a web application from Visual Studio it runs on a built-in webserver, which is designed for debugging and testing web applications in a developmentenvironment.In a production environment, we usually configure our web application on more robustweb servers, such as Microsoft IIS. Configuring and running a web application that dealswith FILESTREAM data on IIS needs some careful attention.In this lab, we will see how to deploy the web application we created in Lab 4 on IIS 7.0.There are different ways of deploying a web application on a web server; we will use theinbuilt functionality provided by Visual Studio to keep the process simple.To do this, we will:• run Visual Studio under an administrator account• publish the web application to a new virtual directory on local IIS• configure security for FILESTREAM access• run and test the application.176
