I have potentially large PDF legal files (up to 10MB) that will be passed to
an imaging system via a webservice. Does anyone know which datatype I should
use for this? IOW, is there something akin to a "blob", since this is binary
data.

byte[]

byte arrays and yes it would. 1.1 supports it too.

Just do

byte[] myDoc= (byte[]) dr.Rows[0][0] ; // assuming column 0, row 0 holds
your PDF.
