Save Images into Sql Server Database Table using asp.net 4.0 ajax

I have a form where users are able to upload images to the website. The images are stored in binary, in the table.

I use ajax and JQuery on the site and it is never reloaded so when a users enter the data and push submit, the page is not reloaded. Instead I use ajax to upload the the data to the server.

When I just passthrough text it looks like this:

$("#storeDataAndImgBtn").bind("click", function () {
    var msg = $("#emailMsg").val();
    var from = $("#fromEmail").val();
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "Default.aspx/storeDat开发者_如何学PythonaAndImg",
        data: "{\"from\":\"" + from + "\" ,\"msg\":\"" + msg + "\" ,\"value\":\" 'image should be here' \" }",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        success: function (temp) {
            alert(temp.d);
            $("#mailForm").fadeOut(function () {
                $("#overlay").fadeOut();
            });
        }
    });
    return false;
});

My question is how i can passthrough the image so that I can store it in the database?

I am assuming that the image is just a Input Type="File". If this is the case, you cannot access the Input field using Ajax due to security reasons. I believe the best solution is using an IFrame for the submit target. It's not pretty but it works.

Your other option is to use a Flash/Silverlight/etc plugin to. I am currently using SWFUpload.

If possible, I would suggest not storing the image in the database. Instead, store images on the server's file-system.
