C# : How to convert a local pdf file to a byte [][]

Question

SITUATION

• Using C# ASP.NET on VS 2008
• I want to
  • Read a pdf file from my local directory (What stream type do I use? Can I use filestream?)
  • Put this pdf file into a byte[][] variable

QUESTIONS

• Being new to C#, I would like suggestion (please explain with code), on how I can achieve this.
• I need to know this to complete my project. Any other inputs will be appreciated.

The code is as follows

   byte[][] pdfDoc= new byte[1][];

   byte[] outputDoc = File.ReadAllBytes(@"d:/test.pdf");


for (int x = 0; x < pdfDoc.Length; x++)
    {
        pdfDoc[x] = outputDoc;

    }

But it is failing, not able to read the file from the d:/test.pdf location. Thanks.

我认为这将为您工作：

byte[] bytes = File.ReadAllBytes("c:\\folder\\myfile.pdf");
