After the training class, I met with a client and told him about the ES in more detail and we have decided to split the project into two sections: a) WinForm b) WebForm.



a) The winform is responsible to allow the employees in different cities to create new records. These employees will be connected to the main Database via ES. The employee will be entering text data and taking images of objects and maybe, small videos per record.



b) The Webform is responsible to show those data and pictures and videos from the server to public who serf the web via bowser.



Questions:

a) Since the images are ultimately going to be consumed by webserver, should each image be stored as a single file or should it be stored in database as BLOB field?

a1) If stored as BLOB field, at the time of showing it on the web, does it need to be converted into a single image file for Webserver to use it?

a2) If the images is stored as single file to begin with, will ES stream the image from the client to the server and store it for me?



b) The second part is, if the user with Winform, records a video clip, can the video clip get transfered to the server via ES?



I guess my main question here is, can ES provide service to get images and videos from client to the server with WinForm?



Once you answer, then I'll follow a few more questions depending on the answer.

Thanks!
