How can i write a response.binarywrite to a string

Vivekh

I am having my data saved in my database as Longblob and while saving i am converting it to bytes and saving now while retrieving we can have that data by writing as follows

 Byte[] bytes = (Byte[])dt.Rows[0]["Data"]; 
                    Response.BinaryWrite(bytes);

But what i need is i need that data in bytes to be represented as string is it possible

Check here for Encoding of String

If your data is encode to string write as follows

string text = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);

If it's arbitrary binary data though, you should use base64 instead:
```
string text = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes); 
```
