Hi,

I've just encountered a problem when dealing with binary BLOBs(BLOB SubType 0) with Firebird. It associates a BLOB field with the type System.Byte[]. The generated code for the "public static List<DTInfoClass> GetSearchData()" has the following line "DTInfoClass info = new DTInfoClass(dr.GetByte[]("BLOB_FieldName"))", and Visual Studio 2008 is complaining that dr.GetByte[]() is a syntax error. And, the parameter type of the constructor DTInfoClass is defined as System.Byte[]. How can a binary BLOB be read?

And, that is the only place in the data layer that VS is returning an error, on compilation and with error insight.

Hi Daniel,

The current version of Code Complete does not deal properly with BLOB and binary fields. We will be looking into the issue and se how we can resolve it for the next release.

Hi Philip,

Any idea when it's going to be available? It's just that I'm starting a project that will contain binary BLOB fields. Do you know of a work-around for the moment?

And, if you need a beat tester, let me know.
