cant you cast it? if not, the only other solution i can think of is to write the object to a MemoryStream then read it back out, but there must be a better way. Smile | :)

I get an error when I try to do something like:

byte[] myByte;
myByte = (byte[])e.PostData;

Am I doing this wrong?

your have casted correctly. the only other thing i can think of is to use the MemoryStream class.

thats some speedy gonzales response you got there. Smile | :)

using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
...

Stream s = new MemoryStream();
BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
bf.Serialize(s, myObject);
byte[] myBytes = new byte[s.Length];
s.Read(myBytes, 0, s.Length);
s.Close();

that should do it, [i think, i hope] Smile | :)

Actually he did something different, the MemoryStream didn't error out, however it didn't return anything. He has it working now though, Thanks.

I was wanting to replace my 'first' name with an edit that the user has performed. I am breaking up the information well, thanks to Eric Gunnerson's marvelous little regex program.

Regex regName = new Regex( @"?< Last >[^,]+)*(,)*( )*(?< First >\S+)*( )*(?< Middle >.+)$" );
String strFirst = "Jane";
String strCurrent = "Doe, John William";

Match pMatch = regName.Match( strCurrent );

if( pMatch.Success )
{
   Group pGroup = pMatch.Groups[ " First " ];

   if( pGroup.Index > 0 )
      strReplace  = strText.Substring( 0, pGroup.Index );

   strReplace += strFirst;

   if( pGroup.Index + pGroup.Length < strText.Length )
      strReplace += strText.Substring( pGroup.Index + pGroup.Length );
}

The ToString(); method isn't doing it, is there another way?

Nick Parker

Re: Convert Byte Array To String

string str = String.Empty;
foreach(byte b in array)
   str += ((char)b).ToString();

that should work.

I believe you can also use BitConverter.ToString(), I don't have the documentation to hand, but I'm pretty sure thats it. The only parameter to ToString is the array AFAIK.

I believe this will work.

String data = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(my_byte_array)
