Hi everyone

I need to return a binary stream from a web service which is a PDF file. And, the kicker, I have to do it using Visual Basic 6.

Does anyone have a resource I can tap for this? I can get the response working properly but I can't figure out how to get it out of the binary stream.

Any help is great.

Thanks!

if your stream is in a string, try this:

dim b as byte[]
b = StringFromPDF

Marco

dim b as byte[] shows an "expected end of statement error".

"A spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission"

sorry I am messing up VB6 with C# (the language I currently use), and I created a language of my own :)

This is in VB6 (this time I tested it)

dim b() as byte
b = "This is a string"

Marco

This is being sent as an attachment. I think we have to do other manipulation here. Any insight?

"A spirit with a vision is a dream with a mission"

which attachment?
Marco

The PDF is sent as what appears to be a MIME attachment. I can get a response but I need some help figuring out how to parse the attachment on the end of the response into a PDF.

This is the XML part of the response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soapenv:Body><getFileNamedResponse xmlns="http://presentment.docucorp.ib.mycompany.com"><getFileNam edReturn href="cid:F573BFC87EB8C37A61865B6CB3878528" xmlns:apachesoap="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap"/></getFileNamedResponse></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>

And this is the Attachment part of the response
