Hi

I need a place to store images. My first thought was to use the database, but many seems to recommend using the filesystem. This seems to fit my case, but how do I implement it?

The filenames need to be unique, how to do that. Should I use a guid?

How to retrieve the files, should I go directly to the database using the filename, make a aspx page and passing either filename or primary key as a querystring and then read the file.

What about client side caching, is that enabled when using a page like image.aspx?id=123 ?

How do I delete the files, when the associated record is deleted?

I guess there are many other things that I still haven't thought about.

Links, samples and guidelines are very welcome!
