Well the hardest part is capturing the signature into a file, once that is
done, you simple send the file as an attachment in the HTTP request (similar
to the way you upload files as attachments in your web-based e-mail
account), then the form its received by the Web server and through ASP.NET
you store the data in a Database, either with the image in a field of the DB
or with a field bearing the path to the image.
