Hello!

Anyone knows how to open the correct aplication to see de document that
is in MemoryStream?
Like:
I've got an pdf in MemoryStream ( I use BinaryWriter to write it to
MemoryStream), and I
wanna see it with acrobat reader.

Hi Nuno,

I think you are mixing up the Memory Stream with Remoting.

As far as I know is it not possible (or maybe when you use Remoting) to read
the memorystream from one program in another. It is meant to overcome the
writing to disk in some processes.

But have a look at Remoting.

I hope this helps,

Cor

I don't believe you can, at least I do not know of a way.

Have you considered writing the BinaryWriter to a FileStream in the "Temp"
folder?

Then Acrobat Reader will be able to open it from the "Temp" folder.

You can use System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName to create the name of a file in
the "Temp" folder, or you could use System.IO.Path.GetTempPath to get the
path, then call System.IO.Path.Combine to combine this path with an existing
name.

Hope this helps
Jay

You will have to write the data to disk.
