Hi
I want to insert my byte[] (byte array) to a column in my table (Data) which its type is varbinary(max) and I need to be able to download the data later so I don't want it to be changed.

Can anybody help me how can I insert buffer in my db and update it? I have used Buffer.BlockCopy(buffer,0,fl.Data,offset,count); but fl.Data varbinary type doed not match teh requirements of Buffer.BlockCopy
I also need to concat the buffer to "Data" each time a new piece arrives. and update the table



C#
public Boolean WriteBlobsToDB(byte[] buffer,int offset,int id,string fileName,string fileType,string user,string md5){
            bool ok = false;

               FileList fl = new FileList(); //FileList is the name of my table

               fl.Id = id;
               fl.FileName = fileName;
               fl.FileType = fileType;
               fl.MD5 = md5;
               fl.UserID = user;
               Buffer.BlockCopy(buffer,0,fl.Data,offset,count);

If I am right, your Data field is of type System.Data.Linq.Binary.
You can assign value like this:
fl.Data = new System.Data.Linq.Binary(bytes);
Where bytes is your byte array.

Looks simple: concatenate the two arrays
var z = new int[x.Length + y.Length];
x.CopyTo(z, 0);
y.CopyTo(z, x.Length);

grazie Zoltan and how to update after? because then after check the table there is nothing written inside
I tried to do FileList.InsertOnSubmit(wfl); but not working, no result
