I'm in the process of creating a small command line application that will write and retrieve PDF's to an Oracle BLOB field. Currently I am working on the "writing" part. I did a bit of Googling and couldn't really find an example if doing this from the command line, everything was from a web form. Am I using the right Namespaces? Is there an easier way to do this?

try
    {

        // Get the current direcotry of the file(s)
        string currDirectory = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
		
        // Get a list of all the files in that direcotry regardless of the file extension
        string[] fileEntries = Directory.GetFiles(currDirectory);

        // Loop though each entry in the array and get the prsn_id, file name, and 
        // 6 digit date (YYMMDD)
        foreach (string fileName in fileEntries)
        {
            // Only get those files in the directory that have the file extension "pdf"
            // and that have a file name length greater than 7
            if (fileName.EndsWith("pdf") && fileName.Length > 7)
            {
				// This gives us only the complete file name, excluding the path to file.                             
                myFileName = Path.GetFileName(fileName);
				
				// Get the file size as int. 
                FileInfo fInfo = new FileInfo(myFileName);
                int fileSize = fInfo.Length;

                // Create a Stream Object                            
                FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(myFileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

                // Create Byte Array  to hold file as bytes
                byte[] bArray = new byte[fileStream];

                // Load the array from the filestream
                fileStream.Read(bArray, 0, fileSize);

                // At this point we are ready to stick everything in the database.	
				...
			}
		}
	}
catch(Exception ex)
{
	throw ex;
}

 Well, it appears that there isn't an easier way to do this. I do however know this works as my upload is working over the command line. I still have some error trapping to do but at least it works.
