Read Binary Data From SQL Server

hello.
i have a _CommandPtr that has the type CommandTypeEnum::adCmdTex, and the CommandText a query("Select * from Table_1") and this select returns one row that has a binary data in it.




Code Block

_CommandPtr pCommand;
//Create the C++ ADO Command Object

pCommand.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Command));

pCommand->ActiveConnection = this->pConnection;

//Make the ADO C++ command object to accept stored procedure

pCommand->CommandType = CommandTypeEnum::adCmdText;

//Tell the name of the Stored Procedure to the command object

pCommand->CommandText = _bstr_t("select * from Table_1");

//get recordset
pRecordset = pCommand->Execute(NULL,NULL,CommandTypeEnum::adCmdText);

BYTE* buffer = NULL;
if(pRecordset != NULL)
{

while (!pRecordset->GetEndOfFile())
{

VARIANT var = pRecordset->Fields->GetItem("test")->Value;

void * pData = NULL;
SafeArrayAccessData(var.parray, &pData);
long size = GetArraySize(var, NULL);
buffer = new BYTE[size];
memcpy(buffer, pData, size);
SafeArrayUnaccessData(var.parray);
pRecordset->MoveNext();
}
pRecordset->Close();
}

where:



Code Block
long GetArraySize(const VARIANT& var, long * nElems)
{

if ( !(var.vt & VT_ARRAY) ) return -1;

long size = 0;
long dims = SafeArrayGetDim(var.parray);
long elemSize = SafeArrayGetElemsize(var.parray);
long elems = 1;
for ( long i=1; i <= dims; i++ )
{

long lbound, ubound;
SafeArrayGetLBound(var.parray, i, &lbound);
SafeArrayGetUBound(var.parray, i, &ubound);
elems *= (ubound - lbound + 1);
}
if ( nElems ) *nElems = elems;
size = elems*elemSize;
return size;
}






I enter in VARIANT var = pRecordset..... and if gives me a value... but when I put it in Memory explorer in VS, i only see this data " fe ee fe ee fe ee fe ee fe ee fe ee fe ee ...fe ee" and of course it brakes at
SafeArrayGetLBound(var.parray, i, &lbound);

Can someone tell me where I am doing a very bad thing?

P.S. I was able to read the binary data from the server using C#.NET 2.0.
