I think You need to display the binary array in normal file format.

C#

private void ShowDocument(string fileName, byte[] fileContent)
        {
            //Split the string by character . to get file extension type
            string[] stringParts = fileName.Split(new char[] { '.' });
            string strType = stringParts[1];
            Response.Clear();
            Response.ClearContent();
            Response.ClearHeaders();
            Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
            //Set the content type as file extension type
            Response.ContentType = strType;
            //Write the file content
            this.Response.BinaryWrite(fileContent);
            this.Response.End();
        }
