I'm reading the file in out of my hard drive. I think run the ConvertStringToByteArray which converts it to a Byte[]. I then try to convert the Byte[] into the image.
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(outFilePathAndName); convertedImage = ConvertStringToByteArray(sr.ReadToEnd()); public static Byte[] ConvertStringToByteArray(string stringToConvert) { return (new UnicodeEncoding()).GetBytes(stringToConvert); } Shawn Hevel, API, AIT Lead Programmer Analyst Information Technology Department South Carolina Farm Bureau Insurance Companies Phone: (803) 936-4331 Fax: (803) 936-4629 Work Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Shawn Wildermuth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 12:48 PM To: ADVANCED-DOTNET@DISCUSS.DEVELOP.COM Subject: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Conversion Error Is this byte array coming from a database table?
