SQL Image DataType - C# Display Output

Question

I have an image data type in my table. When I query using SQL Server Management Studio, I get the following in my results window, both grid and text.

0x255044462D312E320D0A0D0A332030206F[Truncated for Length]

I am attempting to replicate this in a little c# program.

However, when I use either SqlCommand or LINQ I get the output: JVBERi0xLjINCg0KMyAwIG9iag0KPDwNCi9FIDIxODgyDQovSCBbIDExNTAgMTUxIF0NCi9MIDIyM[TRUNCATED]

Any thoughts to what I need to do to get the 0x25... output to display? I have tried doing byte[] conversions and Encoding, but can't seem to find the right one.

If I am not clear, please let me know.

Edit: I am not trying to display the image, just the 0x25...

Thoughts?

Answer 1

string forDisplay = "0x" + BitConverter.ToString(yourByteArray).Replace("-", "");
