Displaying an Oracle 8i Bfile image in VB

[steven_lee_100]

Using Oracle Objects (with Oracle 8i) I have successfully managed to retrieve a Bitmap image (from a Bfile column in a table in my database) and store it in a Variant variable within VB. How do I now display the image that is stored in my Variant variable, any ideas?

[Clunietp]

can you put it right into a picturebox?

try this...

set picture1.picture = rs.fields("picfieldname").value


(i have no idea if this will work, just throwing out ideas.....but let me know if it does!)

Tom,

Unfortunately, I don't think it's quite as straight forward as that. Thanks for replying though and if you can think of any other ideas, please let me know.
