Inserting Long String Cuts Of At 150 Chars

Hi there, I'm having a problem when I insert a string (from C#) which is 167 characters long. The field in SQL Server Express is a varchar(250), but the string gets cut of somehow at 150 characters.

Why does this happen?

The table and stored proc I use are defined like this:

USE [Test]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[tblImage] Script Date: 05/18/2006 10:42:27 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblImage](
[imgID] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[persID] [bigint] NOT NULL,
[imgPad] [varchar](250) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF



ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spInsertImage]

@persID BIGINT

, @imgPad VARCHAR(150)





AS

BEGIN

SET NOCOUNT ON;

INSERT INTO tblImage ( persID

, imgPad )

VALUES ( @persID

, @imgPad)

END

Does anybody know what is going on?

Thanks,

Starik
