Hi,
Is there any control available in vb to directly assign
RecordSet.Field of blob data type to that control and in return
the controls will manage on its own to display that picture
file.

I have tried using conventional method it works but I want to
know about such CONTROL .

I am using VB 6.0/Oracle 9i

Quick reply appreciated, Thanks.

I doubt it - contrary to what you think a BLOB is not a picture.

It is a Binary object, which will most likely be a file of some sort. Lots of Blobs are pictures, but it doesn't mean that all are! (I've seen many posts on this forum that store Word documents etc).
