title: getting Stream in and out of VarBinary(MAX) column? (SQL Server)
body: <p>I have some data that I am serializing.  I need to save and restore this from a VarBinary column using ADO.NET (also using Enterprise Library) under .Net 3.5 (not 4.0 yet).</p>
  
  <p>The only interface I seem to be able to find and get working is by using a byte[].  This requires allocating a large array to do the transfer.</p>
  
  <p>It seems impossible that ADO.NET doesn't support Streams for these columns.  Or am I overlooking something?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
