DisplayFromByteArray from C#

[Iunknown]

Hello,

What's the magic to get the DisplayFromByteArray call to take a Byte[]?

I've loaded my data into a byte array and would like to get the view to show it. I figured that DisplayFromByteArray would be the way to go. I also tried the DisplayFromStream, but I guess it's wants a COM stream not a .net stream.

Before I go wandering down some ugly translation between COM and .NET is there any easier way without using a "real" file?

Also...I never got my trial key...don't know why...

and one more thing...the Doc isn't really working for me..it's just showing one page (install instructions and the boxes on the left have X's in them)

thanks,

Gene

Don't know if this is good practice or not but I use something like this:

Array databytes;
databytes = new byte[fileSize];

.. reding from filestream, casting the array to Byte[]
fs.Read((Byte[])databytes, offset, remain);


and finally displaying the picture
DisplayFromByteArray(ref databytes);

Thanks Zyg but it didn't work for me...not really sure why.

here is the code that DIDN'T work. (got a IndexOutOfRange Exception)

Byte[] bytes = LoadPDFFileIntoMemory("c:\\sample.pdf");
Array databytes = bytes;
axGdViewer1.DisplayFromByteArray(ref databytes);

This code DID work
Byte[] bytes = LoadPDFFileIntoMemory("c:\\sample.pdf");
FileStream ts = new FileStream(@"C:\a.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(ts);
bw.Write(bytes);
bw.Close();
ts.Close();
axGdViewer1.DisplayFromFile(@"C:\a.pdf");

Since the second set worked, I'm pretty sure that my file is loaded correctly and that my Array isn't setup right.

Any ideas?

Ok, again not really sure but have you tested the same code with regular images not pdf files?

This is the only thing I can think of and since it is not documented that well I couldn't really check it.

Hopefully Loïc will give you some better support.
