Open PDF file from Byte array

Question

_{Monday, April 16, 2012 11:38 AM}

Hello,

  In my application, the users can upload their documents and they should be able to view the uploaded documents. When the documents are uploaded, I am converting them in to byte array and saving them in database. Now, the problem is,

1) How do i open a pdf file from the byte array. What would be the best way to do this?

2) The users can upload any format of the document, say .jpg,.png,.pdf etc. But, when I am retrieving the doc from database, I would like to show all the documents as  a pdf file. 

Appreciate the help

Thanks

I used the following code to open a pdf file. But i have one more problem.

Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=data.pdf");
Response.BufferOutput = true;
byte[] pdf;
Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", response.Length.ToString());
Response.BinaryWrite(pdf);
Response.End();

The user can also upload .jpg,.png etc. I am converting them to byte array before saving.

Those byte arrays are not opening with the code above.  Do i have to change the contentType?

How can i do that?
