private byte [] StreamFile(string filename) { FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read); // Create a byte array of file stream length byte[] ImageData = new byte[fs.Length]; //Read block of bytes from stream into the byte array fs.Read(ImageData,0,System.Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length)); //Close the File Stream fs.Close(); return ImageData; //return the byte data }This function is used to convert file into byte array. some time we require to convert file into byte to save into database or send to other system using remoting.
