QuestionSudden cast problem using executescalar Pin

Hi !

Here is the snip of code in question:

C#
.......
                sql = "select " + picField + " from " + table + " where " + where;
                conn = new SqlConnection(connectionstring);
                byte[] picture = (byte[])ExecuteScalar(sql);  // Shows error
                Image source = Image.FromStream(new MemoryStream(picture));
                Image th = source.GetThumbnailImage(w, h, null, IntPtr.Zero);
.......
        public object ExecuteScalar(string strCommand)
    {
        object res=null;
        conn.Open();
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(strCommand, conn);
        try
        {
            res = cmd.ExecuteScalar();
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        { res = e.Message; }
        finally
        {
            conn.Close();
        }
        return res;
    }


It worked like a sharm some time ago.
Code was not changed. The table definition also was not changed and field declaration is as follows:
[Picture_Image] [image] NOT NULL

But now I get error:
unable to cast object of type 'system.string' to type 'system.byte '
I suppose that something may be changed in the server and/or DB settings. But what ??

Can somebody please shed a light on this issue?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gennady
