Question

How do I convert struct System.Byte byte[] to a System.IO.Stream object in C#?

Answer 1

The easiest way to convert a byte array to a stream is using the MemoryStream class:

Stream stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray); 

Answer 2

You're looking for the MemoryStream.Write method.

For example, the following code will write the contents of a byte[] array into a memory stream:

byte[] myByteArray = new byte[10]; MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(); stream.Write(myByteArray, 0, myByteArray.Length); 

Alternatively, you could create a new, non-resizable MemoryStream object based on the byte array:

byte[] myByteArray = new byte[10]; MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(myByteArray);
