public void DownloadBlob(SQLiteConnection sqConnection)
{
  SQLiteCommand sqCommand = new SQLiteCommand("SELECT * FROM Pictures", sqConnection);
  sqConnection.Open();
  SQLiteDataReader sqReader = sqCommand.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.Default);
  try
  {
    while (sqReader.Read())
    {
      SQLiteBlob myBlob = sqReader.GetSQLiteBlob(sqReader.GetOrdinal("Picture"));
      if(!myBlob.IsNull)
      {
        string FN = sqReader.GetString(sqReader.GetOrdinal("PicName"));
        FileStream fs = new FileStream("D:\\Tmp\\"+FN+".bmp", FileMode.Create);
        BinaryWriter w = new BinaryWriter(fs);
        w.Write(myBlob.Value);
        w.Close();
        fs.Close();
        Console.WriteLine(FN+" downloaded.");
      }
    }
  }
  finally
  {
    sqReader.Close();
    sqConnection.Close();
  }
}

  Try
    While sqReader.Read()
      Dim myBlob As SQLiteBlob = sqReader.GetSQLiteBlob(sqReader.GetOrdinal("Picture"))
      If Not myBlob.IsNull Then
