Question Interbase BLOB FIELD

[benjamin]

I've completely exhausted myself with this, so am hoping one of the guru's out there will know.

Am trying to read a BLOB SUB_TYPE 0 SEGMENT SIZE 80 from an interbase database using a datareader into vb.net

I can't seem to get anything out of it which is worthwhile and am unable to find any worthwhile resources to study.

Am wondering if anyone knows of some decent resources and/or functions that exist.

Many thanks if possible.

here is how to update via a bdp parameter query the blob fields:


Dim ascii As System.Text.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII
Dim bytBlobField As Byte()


bytBlobField = ascii.GetBytes(strBlobText)
Dim paramBlobField As BdpParameter = New BdpParameter
paramBlobField.BdpType = BdpType.Blob
paramBlobField.Value = bytBlobField
