In WCF, sometimes we get a ByteArray as an output data contract and we want to deserialize that ByteArray into a DataTable.
Here we could get an idea how we can deserialize a ByteArray into DataTable. DataTable becomes useful int the situations when we want to save data into database using DataAdapter by passing a DataSet.
In this code, we create a MemoryStream object by passing byte array and then using BinaryFormatter, we can directly deserialize MemoryStream object into DataTable.
private DataSet DeserailizeByteArrayToDataSet(byte[] byteArrayData)
{
DataSet tempDataSet = new DataSet();
DataTable dt;
// Deserializing into datatable
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(byteArrayData))
{
BinaryFormatter bformatter = new BinaryFormatter();
dt = (DataTable)bformatter.Deserialize(stream);
if (dt != null)
{
foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
{
Console.WriteLine("----------------------");
Console.WriteLine("PostalCode:" + row["POSTAL_CODE"]);
Console.WriteLine("CountryCode:" + row["COUNTRY_CODE"]);
Console.WriteLine("ProcessNumber:" + row["PROCESS_NUMBER"]);
Console.WriteLine("ProcessStatus:" + row["PROCESS_STATUS"]);
Console.WriteLine("TimeStamp:" + row["TIMESTAMP"]);
Console.WriteLine("----------------------");
}
}
}
// Adding DataTable into DataSet
tempDataSet.Tables.Add(dt);
return tempDataSet;
}
