>>>>> 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.
