byte[] to string

[Fernando Lopes]

Hi ALL.
Someone knows how can I convert a byte[] field to a string field?
The problem is, I'm uploading a xml file and I'm requesting the file using
Request.BinaryRead();

So, now I need to convert the result of Request.BinaryRead() method to a
string variable.

Thanks in advance.

You can take a look at ASCIIEncoding.GetString() method.

Use Encoding.GetString.

You need to know what encoding the binary data is in though.

If you're going to be transporting your string over the web you should
probably convert your bytes to a Base64 string using
Convert.ToBase64String(byte []) and then get the bytes back on the other end
using Conver.FromBase64String(string).
