How to create byte array from HttpPostedFile

arrays, c#

Solution

Use a BinaryReader object to return a byte array from the stream like:

byte[] fileData = null;
using (var binaryReader = new BinaryReader(Request.Files[0].InputStream))
{
    fileData = binaryReader.ReadBytes(Request.Files[0].ContentLength);
}

Problem

I'm using an image component that has a FromBinary method. Wondering how do I convert my input stream into a byte array ``` HttpPostedFile file = context.Request.Files[0]; byte[] buffer = new byte[file.ContentLength]; file.InputStream.Read(buffer, 0, file.ContentLength); ImageElement image = ImageElement.FromBinary(byteArray); ```
