Question

I don’t really get it and it’s driving me nuts. i’ve these 4 lines:

Image img = Image.FromFile('F:\\Pulpit\\soa.bmp'); MemoryStream imageStream = new MemoryStream(); img.Save(imageStream, ImageFormat.Bmp); byte[] contentBuffer = new byte[imageStream.Length]; imageStream.Read(contentBuffer, 0, contentBuffer.Length); 

when debugging i can see the bytes values in imageStream. after imageStream.Read i check content of contentBuffer and i see only 255 values. i can’t get why is it happening? there is nothing to do wrong in these few lines! if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated! thanks, agnieszka

Answer 1

Try setting imageStream.Position to 0. When you write to the MemoryStream it moves the Position after the bytes you just wrote so if you try to read there’s nothing there.
