how make a stream of 2dim byte-array?

[Jeroen Ceuppens]

byte[,] bytes=new byte[50,100];

for (int i=0;i<50;i++)

{

for (int j=0;j<100;j++)

bytes[i,j]=i+j;

}

Stream stream;

stream.Write(by tes,0,bytes.Len gth);

I get this error when compiling: Argument '1': cannot convert from
'byte[*,*]' to 'byte[]'

Jeroen,

This makes sense, because it only takes a single dimensioned array of
bytes. What you need to do is call Write (or WriteByte), passing in one
byte at a time, or creating a single array of 5000 elements which will hold
the bytes contiguously.

Or, you could use serialization to serialize the byte array and write it
to a stream. This is probably the best option, IMO.

Hope this helps.
