How to Convert Uint8Array in Object.GetValue to byte[] in C#

I saved the Uint8Array value to Object. Then I bring it down to the DBHandler layer to make the image save by byte[] = object.getvalue of Uint8Array.
var o = new Object();
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
var file = files[i].rawFile;
console.log(file);
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function () {
var arrayBuffer = this.result;
var view = new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer);
console.log(arrayBuffer);
console.log(view);
o.byte = view;
o.name = file.name;
};
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
}
My image value like image:
Next is my DBhandler layer, and I don't know how to process to convert Object.getValue ("byte") to byte[].
byte[] fileContent = new byte[(byte)objData.GetValue("byte")];
string filename = objData.GetValue("name").ToString();
When I debug, value is like image:
And It error like image:
I tried WebClient to get byte[] according to Url with the same image then it output data as shown below.
I want to convert Object.getValue ("byte") to the same format as WebClient take Url image to byte[]. Hope everybody help me.

If you want to convert UInt8Array in little-endian format to byte[] array.
You can use this
byte[] output= input.SelectMany(BitConverter.GetBytes).ToArray();

.pkpass create fail because of manifest pass.json string format?

This is a very strange question.
I using C# to create a pass.json and save it to memoryStream, it work normally. After that I create the manifest.json SHA1 data which including that pass.json, the string of manifest.json like this and it is totally correct.
{"icon.png": "9423bd00e2b01c59a3265c38b5062fac7da0752d",
"icon#2x.png": "4d1db55bdaca70b685c013529a1c0dcbd7046524",
"logo.png": "ee5b053e63dbfe3b78378c15d163331d68a0ede8",
"logo#2x.png": "2f9e3a55bded1163620719a4d6c1ad496ed40c17",
"pass.json": "fd68bf77757d3057263a9aca0e5110ddd933934a"}
After generate pkpass as my phone, it can't open. I change the pass.json SHA1 code as "fd68bf77757d3057263a9aca0e5110ddd933934a" without using a value to save it, it work.
The coding like following:
// This version run success
var strPass = JavascriptSerialize(details);
var sw = new StreamWriter(assetsFolder + #"pass.json");
sw.Write(strPass);
sw.Close();
manifest.passjson = GetSha1Hash(assetsFolder + manifest.GetAssetBoardingPass(libPkPass_object_boardingPass.JsonObjects.AssetTypes.passjson));
//manifest.passjson = "2f9e3a55bded1163620719a4d6c1ad496ed40c17"
// end
// This version run fail
var strPass = JavascriptSerialize(details);
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(strPass);
writer.Write(s);
writer.Flush();
stream.Position = 0;
var a = GetSha1HashMemory(passStream);
private static string GetSha1HashMemory(Stream passStream)
{
//var bs = new BufferedStream(passStream);
using (SHA1Managed sha = new SHA1Managed())
{
byte[] checksum = sha.ComputeHash(passStream);
string sendCheckSum = BitConverter.ToString(checksum)
.Replace("-", string.Empty);
return sendCheckSum.ToString().ToLower();
}
}
manifest.passjson = a;
//manifest.passjson = "2f9e3a55bded1163620719a4d6c1ad496ed40c17" (same data )
//end
What is going on?????? I can find out any question that string is wrong.
The pkpass provide in here (sendspace).
Can any body told me where is wrong?
Big Thank!

Two mistakes :
ComputeHash(Stream) and using Stream
ComputeHash(Stream) : ComputeHash stream only using System.IO.Stream, but not MemoryStream, change to ComputeHash(bytes[]) can handle it
using Stream: I try to pass the stream to other function, it is not a good example, the stream need to create a new one and it may replace some bytes at your computer stream. In this case, I just need to call this function will out open new one, it will fix
StringBuilder formatted;
using (var sha1 = new SHA1Managed())
{
//var bytePass = ReadFully(passStream);
var bytePass = passStream.ToArray();
var hash = sha1.ComputeHash(bytePass);
formatted = new StringBuilder(2 * hash.Length);
foreach (var b in hash)
{
formatted.AppendFormat("{0:X2}", b);
}
}
manifest.passjson = formatted.ToString().ToLower();

Decompressing GZIP stream

I am trying to decompress a GZipped string which is part of response from a webservice. The string that I have is:
"[31,-117,8,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,109,-114,65,11,-62,48,12,-123,-1,75,-50,-61,-42,-127,30,122,21,111,-126,94,60,-119,-108,-72,102,44,-48,-75,-93,-21,100,56,-6,-33,-19,20,20,101,57,37,95,-14,94,-34,4,-63,-5,-72,-73,-44,-110,-117,-96,38,-88,26,-74,38,-112,3,117,-7,25,-82,5,24,-116,56,-97,-44,108,-23,28,24,-44,-85,83,34,-41,97,-88,24,-99,23,36,124,-120,94,99,-120,15,-42,-91,-108,91,45,-11,70,119,60,-110,21,-20,12,-115,-94,111,-80,-93,89,-41,-65,-127,-82,76,41,51,-19,52,90,-5,69,-85,76,-96,-128,64,22,35,-33,-23,-124,-79,-55,-1,-2,-10,-87,0,55,-76,55,10,-57,122,-9,73,42,-45,98,-44,5,-77,101,-3,58,-91,39,38,51,-15,121,21,1,0,0]"
I'm trying to decompress that string using the following method:
public static string UnZip(string value)
{
// Removing brackets from string
value = value.TrimStart('[');
value = value.TrimEnd(']');
//Transform string into byte[]
string[] strArray = value.Split(',');
byte[] byteArray = new byte[strArray.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < strArray.Length; i++)
{
if (strArray[i][0] != '-')
byteArray[i] = Convert.ToByte(strArray[i]);
else
{
int val = Convert.ToInt16(strArray[i]);
byteArray[i] = (byte)(val + 256);
}
}
//Prepare for decompress
System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream(byteArray);
System.IO.Compression.GZipStream sr = new System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(ms,
System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Decompress);
//Reset variable to collect uncompressed result
byteArray = new byte[byteArray.Length];
//Decompress
int rByte = sr.Read(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
//Transform byte[] unzip data to string
System.Text.StringBuilder sB = new System.Text.StringBuilder(rByte);
//Read the number of bytes GZipStream red and do not a for each bytes in
//resultByteArray;
for (int i = 0; i < rByte; i++)
{
sB.Append((char)byteArray[i]);
}
sr.Close();
ms.Close();
sr.Dispose();
ms.Dispose();
return sB.ToString();
}
The method is a modified version of the one in the following link:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/27203/GZipStream-Compress-Decompress-a-string
Sadly, the result of that method is a corrupted string. More specifically, I know that the input string contains a compressed JSON object and the output string has only some of the expected string:
"{\"rootElement\":{\"children\":[{\"children\":[],\"data\":{\"fileUri\":\"file:////Luciano/e/orto_artzi_2006_0_5_pixel/index/shapefiles/index_cd20/shp_all/index_cd2.shp\",\"relativePath\":\"/i"
Any idea what could be the problem and how to solve it?

Try
public static string UnZip(string value)
{
// Removing brackets from string
value = value.TrimStart('[');
value = value.TrimEnd(']');
//Transform string into byte[]
string[] strArray = value.Split(',');
byte[] byteArray = new byte[strArray.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < strArray.Length; i++)
{
byteArray[i] = unchecked((byte)Convert.ToSByte(strArray[i]));
}
//Prepare for decompress
using (System.IO.MemoryStream output = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
{
using (System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream(byteArray))
using (System.IO.Compression.GZipStream sr = new System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(ms, System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Decompress))
{
sr.CopyTo(output);
}
string str = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(output.GetBuffer(), 0, (int)output.Length);
return str;
}
}
The MemoryBuffer() doesn't "duplicate" the byteArray but is directly backed by it, so you can't reuse the byteArray.
I'll add that I find funny that they "compressed" a json of 277 characters to a stringized byte array of 620 characters.
As a sidenote, the memory occupation of this method is out-of-the-roof... The 620 character string (that in truth is a 277 byte array) to be decompressed causes the creation of strings/arrays for a total size of 4887 bytes (including the 620 initial character string) (disclaimer: the GC can reclaim part of this memory during the execution of the method). This is ok for byte arrays of 277 bytes... But for bigger ones the memory occupation will become quite big.

Following on from Xanatos's answer in C# slightly modified to return a simple byte array. This takes a gzip compressed byte array and returns the inflated gunzipped array.
public static byte[] Decompress(byte[] compressed_data)
{
var outputStream = new MemoryStream();
using (var compressedStream = new MemoryStream(compressed_data))
using (System.IO.Compression.GZipStream sr = new System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(
compressedStream, System.IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Decompress))
{
sr.CopyTo(outputStream);
outputStream.Position = 0;
return outputStream.ToArray();
}
}

Parsing UTF8 encoded data from a Web Service

I'm parsing the date from http://toutankharton.com/ws/localisations.php?l=75
As you can see, it's encoded (<name>Paris 2ème</name>).
My code is the following :
using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.UTF8))
{
var contents = reader.ReadToEnd();
XElement cities = XElement.Parse(contents);
var t = from city in cities.Descendants("city")
select new City
{
Name = city.Element("name").Value,
Insee = city.Element("ci").Value,
Code = city.Element("code").Value,
};
}
Isn't new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.UTF8) sufficient ?

That looks like something that happens if you take utf8-bytes and output them with a incompatible encoding like ISO8859-1. Do you know what the real character is? Going back, using ISO8859-1 to get a byte array, and UTF8 to read it, gives "è".
var input = "è";
var bytes = Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO8859-1").GetBytes(input);
var realString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);

Unicode-to-string conversion in C#

How can I convert a Unicode value to its equivalent string?
For example, I have "రమెశ్", and I need a function that accepts this Unicode value and returns a string.
I was looking at the System.Text.Encoding.Convert() function, but that does not take in a Unicode value; it takes two encodings and a byte array.
I bascially have a byte array that I need to save in a string field and then come back later and convert the string first back to a byte array.
So I use ByteConverter.GetString(byteArray) to save the byte array to a string, but I can't get it back to a byte array.

Use .ToString();:
this.Text = ((char)0x00D7).ToString();

Try the following:
byte[] bytes = ...;
string convertedUtf8 = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes);
string convertedUtf16 = Encoding.Unicode.GetString(bytes); // For UTF-16
The other way around is using `GetBytes():
byte[] bytesUtf8 = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(convertedUtf8);
byte[] bytesUtf16 = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(convertedUtf16);
In the Encoding class, there are more variants if you need them.

To convert a string to a Unicode string, do it like this: very simple... note the BytesToString function which avoids using any inbuilt conversion stuff. Fast, too.
private string BytesToString(byte[] Bytes)
{
MemoryStream MS = new MemoryStream(Bytes);
StreamReader SR = new StreamReader(MS);
string S = SR.ReadToEnd();
SR.Close();
return S;
}
private string ToUnicode(string S)
{
return BytesToString(new UnicodeEncoding().GetBytes(S));
}

UTF8Encoding Class
UTF8Encoding uni = new UTF8Encoding();
Console.WriteLine( uni.GetString(new byte[] { 1, 2 }));

There are different types of encoding. You can try some of them to see if your bytestream get converted correctly:
System.Text.ASCIIEncoding encodingASCII = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
System.Text.UTF8Encoding encodingUTF8 = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();
System.Text.UnicodeEncoding encodingUNICODE = new System.Text.UnicodeEncoding();
var ascii = string.Format("{0}: {1}", encodingASCII.ToString(), encodingASCII.GetString(textBytesASCII));
var utf = string.Format("{0}: {1}", encodingUTF8.ToString(), encodingUTF8.GetString(textBytesUTF8));
var unicode = string.Format("{0}: {1}", encodingUNICODE.ToString(), encodingUNICODE.GetString(textBytesCyrillic));
Have a look here as well: http://george2giga.com/2010/10/08/c-text-encoding-and-transcoding/.

var ascii = $"{new ASCIIEncoding().ToString()}: {((ASCIIEncoding)new ASCIIEncoding()).GetString(textBytesASCII)}";
var utf = $"{new UTF8Encoding().ToString()}: {((UTF8Encoding)new UTF8Encoding()).GetString(textBytesUTF8)}";
var unicode = $"{new UnicodeEncoding().ToString()}: {((UnicodeEncoding)new UnicodeEncoding()).GetString(textBytesCyrillic)}";

Wrote a cycle for converting unicode symbols in string to UTF8 letters:
string stringWithUnicodeSymbols = #"{""id"": 10440119, ""photo"": 10945418, ""first_name"": ""\u0415\u0432\u0433\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0439""}";
var splitted = Regex.Split(stringWithUnicodeSymbols, #"\\u([a-fA-F\d]{4})");
string outString = "";
foreach (var s in splitted)
{
try
{
if (s.Length == 4)
{
var decoded = ((char) Convert.ToUInt16(s, 16)).ToString();
outString += decoded;
}
else
{
outString += s;
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
outString += s;
}
}
