What’s the easiest way to preview compressed image data stored in a database column using C#?

I’m working with a C# Windows Forms application where I need to preview image data stored in a database column of type IMAGE from a Legacy Database. However, the data in this column seems to be compressed using BLOBZIP, and I’m encountering issues while trying to read and display the images.

I have tried various libraries and methods to decompress and preview this data, including: SharpZipLib, SharpCompress and BZip2Sharp, but I keep running into errors.

The issue seems to be similar to the problem discussed here, but that question does not address the scenario where the data is compressed and obviously, I came here after a long search.

Has anyone successfully handled the decompression of image data stored in an IMAGE column that has been compressed with BLOBZIP? If so, could you please share the approach or code examples that worked for you?

Thank you!
