This repository contains the SQL server database file provider in ASP.NET Core for the Syncfusion File Manager component.

To know more about SQL server database file system provider for File Manager, please refer our documentation [here] (https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnetcore/documentation/file-manager/file-system-provider#sql-database-file-system-provider).

The SQL FILESTREAM feature provides efficient storage, management, and streaming of unstructured data stored as files on the file system.

The SQL server database file provider serves the file system support for the FileManager component in SQL server database.

The following actions can be performed with the SQL server database file provider.

• Visual Studio 2022

Make the SQL server connection with SQL database file (App_Data/FileManager.mdf) and specify the connection string in "Web.config" file as specified in below code example.

<add name="FileExplorerConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\FileManager.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Trusted_Connection=true" />

Also need to add the entry for the connection string in the appsettings.json file as specified in below code example.

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "FileManagerConnection": "Data Source=(LocalDB)\\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\\App_Data\\FileManager.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30"
  }
}

To configure the SQL server database connection use the SetSQLConnection method to set the connection name, table name and rootId of the table.

  
  SetSQLConnection(string name, string tableName, string tableID)
