Retrieve Images stored in OLE Objects to ASP page

[zachhale]

We are storing images into the SQL database with the column type of
"Image" using Access and it is storing all of the images as "OLE
Object". I am trying to spit out the binary data of the Image part of
the OLE Object to an asp .net page so I can view it as a jpeg image.

I have found many tutorials for setting the response.contenttype and
then response.binarywrite the byte[] of binary data, but the problem is
that the binary data isn't just the image, but rather an OLE Object
which is the image plus a bunch of metadata. I need to somehow decode
the OLE Object to extract JUST the jpeg image from it for outputting as
a byte[] array.

I am tearing my hair out with this problem and greatly appreciate any
help. Thanks!
