Varbinary to Excel file Programming Software Development by jaejoong Hi, I would like to know to extract varbinary(max) to an excel file. I am currently creating it in windows application. Thank you! Re: Varbinary to Excel file Programming Software Development by ddanbe What do you mean by > extract varbinary(max) to Write a maximum binary value to an excel file? Re: Picture Box Read Image directly from Varbinary Programming Software Development by Momerath varbinary takes values up to 8000, or 'max'. This has to do with DB paging, but you don't have to worry about that. Just set it to max and it will hold images up to 2GB (1000 MB).

Programming Databases by sknake How are you trying to insert the data? Typically binary inserts are done with applications and not directly from TSQL, and inside of the applications you use ADO.NET/Native SQL parameters.

What language are you developing your … Re: MSSQL Server problem writing VARBINARY data.

[B]0x03[/B] means "End of text" and [B]0x80[/B] has no meaning, it's just a character (C with an accent mark below it). Does this ring a bell to anyone?

Warning though, reading cuts off when the buffer is full so if your image turns out to be bigger than a megabyte you're not going to have the full image and it will throw an exception like it is now. Re: Picture Box Read Image directly from Varbinary Programming Software Development by WildBamaBoy Try increasing the size to 1048576 and see if it works.

Re: MySQL VARBINARY Programming Databases by pritaeas > didn't found use Of course it has a use. It's an excellent column type to store encrypted data.
