xml string to byte[]

[Marco Teodoro]

hello.

this is my scenario.

i have a web service that brings some products, each product have a name, price, description and image in blob format.

so i'm getting this blob as string and i'm making Convert.FromBase64String(base64String) that return a byte[].

so far so goo, i think!

so, next i fill the property DataValue whit the byte array.

this binaryimage is inside one template of datalist.

but then when i'm trying to render the page e receive a error page with this exception:

Parameter is not valid.

Hope someone can help.

Hello Marco,

Verify that all the data records from the XML data contain valid image data. In other words, the byte[] that you get from an XML substring should be a valid image. Otherwise, you should not pass it to RadBinaryImage. If the problem persists, send us some sample XML data we can use to test your scenario locally.
