I can't get access to the .net provider mailing list, so here I am.

The .net provider promises:

"Transparent Text BLOB Support
BLOB fields with TEXT subtype can be accessed as strings transparently."



Not true. I had to do something like the following:



byte[] chr = new byte[500];

myReader.GetBytes(2, 0, chr, 0, 500);



Has anyone else run into this?
