"Unable to cast object of type 'System.Byte[]' to type 'System.IO.Stream'.

[anj2k5]

I uploaded music file in SQl DB in a image dataype
.But when i try to reterive it,It doesn't play.

It gives the following type casting error on runtime

"Unable to cast object of type 'System.Byte[]' to type 'System.IO.Stream'.

I used the following code to play musicfile


while (myReader.Read())
{
Response.ContentType = (string)myReader["Img_Type"];

System.Media.SoundPlayer d = new System.Media.SoundPlayer();
d.Stream = (Stream)myReader["Img_File"];
d.Play();


Can any one help for this?

d.Stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray);

Yes, Shashi is right, you will need to convert the byte[] to a stream object correctly.
You should pay attention to your error messages. They're usually very helpful and quite clear.
