How to get Binary data in c#

Hi, Try this code: try { SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(strCn); cn.Open(); //Retrieve BLOB from database into DataSet. SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT BLOBID, BLOBData FROM BLOBTest ORDER BY BLOBID", cn); SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); da.Fill(ds, "BLOBTest"); int c = ds.Tables["BLOBTest"].Rows.Count; if(c>0) { //BLOB is read into Byte array, then used to construct MemoryStream, //then saved to a file. Byte[] byteBLOBData = new Byte[0]; byteBLOBData = (Byte[])(ds.Tables["BLOBTest"].Rows[c - 1]["BLOBData"]); MemoryStream stmBLOBData = new MemoryStream(byteBLOBData); Image image = Image.FromStream(stmBLOBData); image.Save(@"c:\test.bmp"); } cn.Close(); } catch(Exception ex) {MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);}
