I need to create an object of type System.IO.Stream from the contents of a string . This my string is in a Resource.resx file. I retrieve it like this:
string xml = ResourcesRel.pt_BR;
I need to use a component that has a Load() method. This method has two overloads: one that accepts the physical path of the file, and another that accepts Stream .
Can you create a Stream object from the string ?
You can convert to bytes and then to MemoryStream which is an object that inherits from System.IO.Stream .
string conteudo = "Teste";
byte[] array = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(conteudo);
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(array);
You can use MemoryStream . You have to see if you need to do some conversion before or not.
using System.IO;
using System;
public class Program {
public static void Main() {
var texto = "meu texto aqui";
var stream = new MemoryStream();
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(stream);
writer.Write(texto);
writer.Flush();
stream.Position = 0;
var reader = new StreamReader(stream); //aqui já está consumindo o stream
var novotexto = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.WriteLine(novotexto); //só pra mostrar funcionando
}
}
See running on .NET Fiddle . And at Coding Ground . Also put it on GitHub for future reference .
If you prefer you can do this:
var stream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("meu texto aqui"));
