I need to convert a byte array to a Stream . How to do so in C#?

It is in asp.net application.

FileUpload Control Name: taxformUpload

Program

byte[] buffer = new byte[(int)taxformUpload.FileContent.Length];
taxformUpload.FileContent.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

Stream stream = ConvertToStream(buffer);

Why don't you just use `taxformUpload.FileContent` directly? It's already a `Stream`... — John Rasch, Mar 29 '12 at 03:32

Easy, simply wrap a MemoryStream around it:

Stream stream = new MemoryStream(buffer);

I am using as what John Rasch said:

Stream streamContent = taxformUpload.FileContent;
