storing various files in mysql

I need to store small files in mySql. Some are binary and some are not,
can they be stored the same way ?
eg: Read them in as binary and store them in a blob ?

I can't figure out how to store binary data in mySql using ADODB, c# ?

I read in the binary data as a byte array. I then convert that to a
string and insert it into mySql in the normal fashion. mySql complains
about this ?

can anyone help ?

thanks

Craig
