I have this function in c#:
public string CommitDocument(string extension, byte[] fileBytes)
{
// some code here
}
I'm trying to call this function like this:
CommitDocument("document.docx", byte [1493]);
I'm getting an error: "Invalid expression term 'byte'". How can I pass a value to the parameter of type byte?
The byte[] is an array of bytes and you need to allocate the array first with 'new'.
byte[] myArray = new byte[1493];
CommitDocument("document.docx", myArray);
You defined CommitDocument as taking a byte array. A single byte is not convertible into a byte array. Or at least the Compiler is not doing that implicitly. There are a few ways around that limitation:
Provide a overload that takes a byte and makes it into a one element array:
public string CommitDocument(string extension, byte fileByte)
{
//Make a one element arry from the byte
var temp = new byte[1];
temp[0] = fileByte;
//Hand if of to the existing code.
CommitDocument(extension, temp);
}
Otherwise turn fileBytes in a Params Parameter. You can provide any amount of comma seperated bytes to a Params, and the compiler will automagically turn them into an array. See Params Documentation for details and limits:
