>Hi
> I have a need of uploading Binary Files (Bitmaps/Image Files, PDF, DOC etc) into SQL 2k Database. My Question is what would be the ideal datatype should I use? is It Image or Text? Currently Im using Image Datatype then cast this data into Bitmap datatype in C# on top of ASP.net.Any experience about this?

There's realy no choice here because the Image data type is designed to store binary data and the text data type is not.
