Is there a way to convert a System.IO.Stream to a Windows.Storage.Streams.IRandomAccessStream?

Question

In Windows 8; I would like to pass the contents of a MemoryStream to a class that accepts a parameter of type Windows.Storage.Streams.IRandomAccessStream. Is there any way t

Answer 1

There is no built-in way method on Windows 8. For Windows 8.1 we added a Stream.AsRandomAccessStream() extension method:

internal static IRandomAccessStream ToRandomAccessStream(byte[] array)
{
    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(array);
    return stream.AsRandomAccessStream();
}
