This code can help if the image can be loaded to a picture box.
See the PictureFromByteStream()
Function in Module1.bas

If the image blob is in one of several standard formats (BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF file format) you can use WIA 2.0 for this.
Get the blob as a Byte array, create a WIA.Vector object, assign the Byte array to the Vector.BinaryData property, then you can use the Vector.Picture property to retrieve a StdPicture object you can assign to an Image or PictureBox control.
