How can i write a response.binarywrite to a string

Question

I am having my data saved in my database as Longblob and while saving i am converting it to bytes and saving now while retrieving we can have that data by writing as follows

 Byte[] bytes = (Byte[])dt.Rows[0]["Data"]; 
                    Response.BinaryWrite(bytes);

But what i need is i need that data in bytes to be represented as string is it possible

Check here for Encoding of String http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/744y86tc.aspx If your data is encode to string write as follows string text = Encoding . UTF8 . GetString ( bytes ); If it's arbitrary binary data though you should use base64 instead: string text = Convert . ToBase64String ( bytes );
