I'm trying to use a blob to read into a typed dataset using the ByteFX data
provider, but this gives an 'Inconvertable type mismatch' error.
 
I've managed to hack this to work by converting the GetFieldType method in
Field.cs to return 'typeof(byte[])' for binary blobs instead of
'typeof(System.Array)'.
 
Is this a valid change, or am I doing something else wrong?
 
Thanks
 
Nick
