Hi!

I am trying SOAP with DIME attachments in web services. The web
service sends the file as attachment say "test.doc", and the client
has to read that and populate it in a textbox control. I had asked
this question earlier, and got the reply that the data is tranferred
in binary format on the wire. I read the stream, and convert it to
string, but I get some junk characters in my textbox. I am writing my
code below, so that you can see what I am doing wrong, and correct me.
This is what I do:

On Server:
----------
[WebMethod]
public void GetDoc()
{
 SoapContext respContext = ResponseSoapContext.Current;
 DimeAttachment dimeAttach = new DimeAttachment("application/msword",
                                   TypeFormat.MediaType,
                                   @"D:\Images\Test.doc");  
 respContext.Attachments.Add(dimeAttach);
}

On Client:
----------
private void btnGetDoc_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
 MyDimeService svc = new MyDimeService();
 svc.GetDoc();
 if (svc.ResponseSoapContext.Attachments.Count == 1)
 {
   MessageBox.Show("Got it!\n");
   // Get the stream and do something with it
   Stream  s = svc.ResponseSoapContext.Attachments[0].Stream;       
   byte [] binaryData = new byte[s.Length];
   long bytesRead = s.Read(binaryData, 0, binaryData.Length);
   s.Close();
   string base64String;
   try
   {
      base64String = System.Convert.ToBase64String(binaryData, 0,  
                                                 
binaryData.Length);
   }
   catch (System.ArgumentNullException)
   {
      System.Console.WriteLine("Binary data array is null.");
      return;
   }
   txtGetDoc.Text = base64String;
 } //end of if
} //end of private..

Waiting for an answer...

Thanks
