You asked the same question here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17904580/how-to-upload-up-10gb-file-on-asp-net and, as pointed out, you can't use `FileUpload` to upload a 10gb file. — keyboardP, Jul 28 '13 at 17:06
Four gig limit? Why do you want to store a file that size in a db anyway? Storing any file in one is not a great idea, 10 gig is well daft. — Tony Hopkinson, Jul 28 '13 at 17:10

Here is the code which converts stream to byte. Please continue reading before you use the code.

var file = FileUpload1.PostedFile;
var imgStream = file.InputStream;
var length = file.ContentLength;
var data = new byte[length]; 
imgStream.Read(data, 0, length);

// data is the one you need.

First of all, you should not store large file in database, it'll kill both Web Sever and especially SQL Server.

Instead you should just store file in File System, and keep the file path in database.

This is one of my favorite -

Is it a bad practice to store large files (10 MB) in a database?
