Mark, yes I can load the image if it's coming from a file and that doesn't crash. The image I'm getting is from a varbinary(max) field in SQL Server. When I try to call the bmp.SetSource method, it crashes with that "Catastrophic failure" message I listed.

I thought about putting in code to just dump every record to a temporary file and then read that file in to display it so that it doesn't give me the memory error. But, besides being really slow and cumbersome, that will make for some nasty disk cleanup issues that I don't wish to deal with.

I'm REALLY hoping someone else has seen this issue and figured out a work around. Otherwise, I'm dead in the water at the moment.

This is a cut and paste of the error from Visual Studio. As I said in the original post, the error occurs in the line:
bmp.SetSource(ms);

Apparently, setting the bitmap image to the memory stream is causing a memory error but I have no clue how to determine what it is or how to fix it.
