I'm lost here, can someone explain to me what subsonic is?

is it a code generator type tool?

"SubSonic is A Super High-fidelity Batman Utility Belt that works up your Data Access (using Linq in 3.0), throws in some much-needed utility functions, and generally speeds along your dev cycle."

Depending on how you use it, it does involve code generation (t4 templates used to create classes that represent your database objects).

You can't extend the built in templates, but you can replace them with your own templates without changing SubSonic.dll. See the templateDirectory parameter here: http://subsonicproject.com/docs/Generated_Classes/#Customizing_Active_Record

An example configuration would be:

<SubSonicService defaultProvider="Northwind" enableTrace="true"
    templateDirectory="C:\Program Files\SubSonic\SubSonic 2.0.3\Templates\MVC">
    <providers>
      <clear/>
      <add name="Northwind" type="SubSonic.SqlDataProvider, SubSonic"
       connectionStringName="Northwind" generatedNamespace="Northwind"/>
    </providers>
  </SubSonicService>

You can get the current version of the built-in ActiveRecord templates from here.

Subsonic 3 – Object of type ‘System.Byte[]’ cannot be converted to type ‘System.String’

Are you using the latest version (3.0.0.1), what you're reporting looks very similar to:

Subsonic 3: Invalid cast from 'System.Byte' to 'System.Byte[]'

Also which database are you using?
