title: Converting to Byte Array after reading a BLOB from SQL in C#
body: <p>I need to read a BLOB and store it in a byte[], before going forward with Deserializing;</p>
  
  <p>Consider:</p>
  
  <pre><code> //Reading the Database with DataAdapterInstance.Fill(DataSet);
       DataTable dt = DataSet.Tables[0];
      foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
      {
      byte[] BinDate = Byte.Parse(row["Date"].ToString()); // convert successfully to byte[]
  
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need help in this C# statement, as I am not able to convert an object type into a byte[]. Note, "Date" field in the table is a blob and not of type Date;</p>
  
  <p>Help appreciated;
