Hello,

I'm trying to read the XML content from the memory stream.

Below is the code I tried, but xmlStr remains empty.

_stream is System.IO.MemoryStream, which has come from "ERDocuManagementAttachingFileEventArgs _args" >> _args.getStream();

This is the continuetion of my previous Post >> https://community.dynamics.com/forums/thread/details/?threadid=382f3f01-4540-ef11-8409-6045bdd49f80

Which has been resolved, but since the subject is now XML, I'm creating this new Post.

My current code:

str xmlStr;
System.IO.StreamReader  sreader = new System.IO.StreamReader(_stream, System.Text.Encoding::UTF8, true);
xmlStr = sreader.ReadToEnd();

These are the Setup of Document type I use for ER generation

How to read XML data from MemoryStream

Hello,

If the stream offset is at the end, it will return nothing as in your case. You have to set the offset to the beginning again. I make a copy of the stream in this example below so not to interfere with the standard process.

System.IO.MemoryStream streamArchive = _args.getStream(); if (streamArchive.CanSeek) { streamArchive.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin::Begin); //avent: set stream position to 0 so we can read/copy it. } streamArchive.CopyTo(stream);
