title: how to save byte-array with Dapper and sqlite insert statement
body: <p>I have the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Shared Sub ExecSQL(ByVal connection As SQLiteConnection, ByVal commandText As String, Optional ByVal param As Object = Nothing)
      If connection Is Nothing Then
          Throw New NullReferenceException("Connection required!")
      End If
  
      If connection.State &lt;&gt; ConnectionState.Open Then
          connection.Open()
      End If
  
      connection.Execute(commandText, param)
  End Sub
  
  Shared Sub SaveFingerPrints(p As Person)
      For Each f In p.Fingerprints
          ExecSQL($"insert into Prints(id,finger,image,template) values({p.Id},{f.Finger},{f.AsImageData},{f.Template});")
      Next
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I end up with the following insert statement:</p>
  
  <pre><code>insert into Prints(id,finger,image,template) values(1,RightThumb,System.Byte[],System.Byte[]);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please how can I fix this</p>
