How to Convert DataRow with Byte Array data to String?

[Paul W]

How do I do this with: Option Strict On?

I know of the function System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.GetChars, but that
takes a Byte array not a DataRow. So with Option Strict On, how do I
take the byte array in my DataRow, convert it to Text and display it
on my web page without saving the info to disk inbetween?
MemoryStream? Give in and set Option Strict Off?

Thanks for any help,

How about using something like this:

Public Function ByteArrayToString(ByVal bytArray() As Byte) As String
Dim UTF8 As New UTF8Encoding()
Return UTF8.GetString(bytArray)
End Function
