I have very little experience with .NET (C#) and I'm wondering if it's possible to allow a user to upload their shapefile and then the back-end would save it to our ArcSDE database. We don't need to display their shapefile or do anything with mapping procedures, we literally just need them to upload their file and have it save to our database with all the geometry information (so I could open it up in ArcGIS for Desktop for instance). How would you go about doing something like that?
All we would need is the geometry, we would want to ignore anything the user may have put in the shapefile's attribute table. We'd populate the ArcSDE geodatabase with their shapefile geometry and their answers to the fields in the web application.
