Well, if you've done a select and have a row in a Result object, 
you could always do something like

File.Save("somefilename.png", myResultObject["myBinaryField"])
' change .png to whatever format is appropriate for 
' your binary field, assuming it's one Qt/Gambas can display
myPictureObject = Picture.Load("somefilename.png")
Draw.Begin(myDrawingArea)
Draw.Picture(myPictureObject)
Draw.End

I can't think of a reason why that wouldn't work....
