Hi
I am executing a Sql Server SP from my C# app
One of the parameters is of type varbinary. Since the content length of this
parameter is variable I cannot set it to a pre-defined length. What do I set
the parameter size to ?
I can set it to -1 but does -1 means variable upto maximum size of Varbinary
type ?

Random thought; you could set it to the size of the (runtime) data you
are adding? or alternaviely int.MaxValue?
If the data is huge, and you don't want to allocate a large byte[] in
your C#, then you may wish to chunk the transfer. For SELECT this is
easy enough using one of the DataReader overloads, however, for saves
you need (unless I have missed this option) to do it manually: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...4e7e3782e59a93

2000 : 8000
2005 : int.MaxValues
was obvious suggestions.

Actually, I believe that varbinary maps most closely to "image", so
was never subject to the 8000 page limit.
And (for the OP) another solution: simply don't set one! Not sure it
would be used for this data-type anyhows.

2000 BOL says:
varbinary [ ( n ) ]
Variable-length binary data of n bytes. n must be a value from 1 through
8,000.
2005 BOL says:
varbinary [ ( n | max) ]
Variable-length binary data. n can be a value from 1 through 8,000. max
indicates that the maximum storage size is 2^31-1 bytes.
So if the documentation can be trusted it was subject to the 8000 bytes
limit.
Arne
You are quite correct. I must have done a few too many translations
when reading it! So yes : if it is varbinary then you'd need to follow
the varbinary rules for that environment. I read it as "image" (hence
my comment), which can be added to SqlParamater using SqlDbType.Image ,
but is a pain to do through IDbDataParamete r and DbType.

Hi,
I have a stored procedure which expects a varbinary datatype. How
can i pass a varbinary datatype from asp.net
directly to the stored procedure. I tried using the Convert function in Sql
server to convert the string to varbinary but it gives
a different value. Can you give me suggestions on how to approach this
problem.
The SQL server column datatype was made to varbinary because the data is in
hexadecimal format.

I've got an application which is written in .Net 1.1. When I try to

When I remove this field from my update statement, everything works
