ODP.NET

I have a program that is using a modified version of the DAAB to use odp.net..
I modified the code because I kept having problems with blob(binary) data > 32k with the Microsoft Oracle Client. So after modifying the daab code, everything is pretty much working EXCEPT for the data size issue. I have posted the error below. I am reading in a file and converting it to a byte array to write to a blob field...

Using vs2008, Oracle 9i, odp.net version 11....

Has anyone every found a way to work around this issue?
