title: Entity framework and VARBINARY
body: <p>I’m using the .NET entity framework and I’ve got one entity containing a varbinary. Is there an easy way to get the size of the varbinary in the codebehind, efter it’s been retrieved from the database?</p>
  
  <p>I’m thinking there might be some way to get the size directly from the entity, something like entity.Context.Size – or do one need to handle it differently?</p>
