csharp

MySqlBlob myBlob = myReader.GetMySqlBlob(myReader.GetOrdinal("Picture"));
if(!myBlob.IsNull)
{
  string FN = myReader.GetString(myReader.GetOrdinal("PicName"));
  FileStream fs = new FileStream("D:\\Tmp\\"+FN+".bmp", FileMode.Create);
  fs.Write(myBlob.Value,0,(int)myBlob.Length);
  fs.Close();
  Console.WriteLine(FN+" downloaded.");
}

Visual Basic

Dim myBlob As MySqlBlob = myReader.GetMySqlBlob(myReader.GetOrdinal("Picture"))
If Not myBlob.IsNull Then
  Dim FN As String = myReader.GetString(myReader.GetOrdinal("PicName"))
  Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream("D:\Tmp\" + FN + ".bmp", FileMode.Create)
  fs.Write(myBlob.Value, 0, Convert.ToInt32(myBlob.Length))
  fs.Close()
  Console.WriteLine(String.Concat(FN, " downloaded."))
End If
