I'm assuming the same thing you already have, right?
database.AddInParameter(command, "@Attachment", DbType.Binary, attachment);

>>I'm assuming that you tried this and it didn't work? Or were you just asking based on the fact that Intellisense says it's only for binary data between 1 and 8000 bytes? The documentation implies (or rather, I *infer* from the documentation), that it should be ok. Here's what it says:
>>
>>
A variable-length stream of binary data ranging between 1 and 8,000 bytes.
>>ADO.NET cannot correctly infer the type if the byte array is larger than 8,000 bytes. Explicitly specify the DbType when working with byte arrays larger than 8,000 bytes.>>

>>> I have a field in a table called attachment of VarBinary(Max) type. From a C# program that uses enterprise library, I am adding an in Parameter. The AddInParameter requires a data type parameter(dbType). What should I use to pass the attachment parameter? The length is usually more than 8,000. I've included my code below. Please help.
