actually i am saving whole content of my word file in database, and now i want to retrieve it from the database. column datatype is image so my data is in byte array which i want to write to my doc file. it is showing me byte code only. that's the main problem.

I can't save it .txt format because i want to preserve formatting of mr word doc.

so do you have any other option.
if you see the code you will find that prblem is in only two lines in which i am writing data to the file..
 
Hi
try this one...............

Dim strWrites As FileStream

If sfdFile.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then

If File.Exists(sfdFile.FileName) Then

File.Delete(sfdFile.FileName)

End If

strWrites = File.Create("c:\abc.doc")

'Below pi_arrbyteFiles is a Array of bytes read from DB having Type Image....
strWrites.Write(pi_arrbyteFiles, 0, pi_arrbyteFiles.Length - 1)

strWrites.Close()

End If


I hope this will help u....................
