I am not clear on your question. In general case of storing data in dbms, there are lots of reasons, integrity, atomicity etc, it is out of context of this article but am sure you will find something useful on google.

Sorry for replying late..

Base64 takes 160% Size, that means to store 100 bytes, you will need 160 bytes, so 60% extra overhead. If you consider time of encoding/decoding, it will consume more CPU time. You can send Base64 and expect clients to decode it, but even in that case, if client is a mobile device, then cpu on mobile will eat more battery. We are storing millions of files, and after nearly 5 years of research, everything listed here is the only best option we have that we can easily deploy and manage with limited manpower and limited knowledge of simple ASP.NET and Database access.

Hi Akash Kava,

I have a similar requirement and i tried using your extension method. But i face a problem that while i detach my modified entity from the Original context and Attach to the temporary context and save it to the DB, a new entry is created, instead of updating the existing entry. Any idea how to overcome this?

Well I will look for better solution but what you can do is, create an additional interface called IExportedVehical derived from IVehical and use it only on one class you need to export.

You might have to add some references if it does not compile. Can you post what error you are getting?

Conversion should not be done at time of serving the file, instead most appropriate way would be to convert and store a converted file along with original file. And conversion should be batched as well.
