I'm developing a MVC web app in VB.Net and I have a pdf in base64 string format. It's possible to return that pdf to the view and see it, without creating a temp.pdf file?

  • "the view" - what is "the view"? What *type* of application are you writing? Is this a windows forms application? WPF? Windows Store? Some form of ASP.Net? – Damien_The_Unbeliever Jun 06 '14 at 06:54

  • You can write to a response stream. – Allan S. Hansen Jun 06 '14 at 07:13

You say in a comment that you want something like:

Return File(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & "\file.pdf", "application/pdf")

So why not simply:

Return File(Convert.FromBase64String(base64string),"application/pdf")

References:

Convert.FromBase64String File
