InvalidCastException when trying to stream a byte array, I think...

[lamiumthetanker]

Hi guys, really stuck here, to be honest, I'm not really sure where I'm going wrong here. What I'm trying to do is to stream a PDF document to a browser by clicking a button. Below is a snippet of the code that I am using.

I am reading the pdf correctly but for some reason it keeps thinking that my Byte is an Integer and keeps throwing an InvalidCastException Error

Here is the code snippet:

Const ChunkSize As Integer = 1024
Dim buffer() As Byte = New Byte(ChunkSize) {}
Dim binary(reader("document")) As Byte *** Exception is thrown here***
Dim ms As New MemoryStream(binary)
Dim SizeToWrite As Integer = ChunkSize
 

Here is the error:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Conversion from type 'Byte()' to type 'Integer' is not valid.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Line 43:             Dim ms As New MemoryStream(binary)

and here is the Stack Trace:
