Save Byte array to file

[Chris]

How do I save an array of bytes to a file?

I am binding a update parameter to a fileupload control. It passes the file
to my object as a Filebytes datatype. I am assuming it is just an array of
bytes and I can assign it to a byte() array. Just not sure how to save it as
a file.

Hi,

you can write bytes directly into a file with System.IO.FileStream class
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filestream.aspx

It has a Write method which accepts a byte
array(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filestream.write(VS.80).aspx)

I am getting the byte array from the Filebytes datatype in one of my
objectdatasource's update parameters. Is there any way I can get the
original file name like you can when you use the postedfile with the
fileupload control. Other than that it works great.
