how do i read a byte array into a stream?

Hi All.

I have a method that returns an image in byte array form. I need to take this byte array and read it into a stream. Is this possible? If so, how?

Appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at:

basically, the method returns a system.array object

the data is like :

(1) = 255
(2) = 216
(3) = 255

etc etc

when i try to cast it put it in a memory stream like this:

Dim str As System.IO.MemoryStream = New System.IO.MemoryStream(arr)

it gives me an error:

System.InvalidCastException = {"Unable to cast object of type 'System.Byte[*]' to type 'System.Byte[]'."}

Any ideas?

You should pass by byteArray to stream...

It should be some thing like this..

Dim s As Stream = New MemoryStream(byteArray)

aspd

how?

Try this example below using ArrayList..

Dim arr As New ArrayList()
arr.Add("AAA")
arr.Add("BBB")
arr.Add("CCC")




Dim byteArray As Byte() = New Byte(2) {}
For i As Integer = 0 To arr.Count - 1
    byteArray = DirectCast(arr(i), Byte())
Next
'Read byteArray to stream
Dim stream As New System.IO.MemoryStream(byteArray)
