[RESOLVED] Decompression doesnt work properly

[jmcilhinney]

The code I posted earlier works perfectly for me whether the RTB contains an image or just text. Did you test that code specifically?

Well I am using PostgreSQL as backend... and here is the code I am using... let me also save it to a file and check it instead of table...

Friend Function CompressBytes(ByVal text As String) As Byte()
        Try
            Using store As New IO.MemoryStream
                Using compressor As New System.IO.Compression.GZipStream(store, IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Compress)
                    Using writer As New IO.StreamWriter(compressor)
                        store.Position = 0
                        writer.Write(text)
                        Return store.GetBuffer()
                    End Using
                End Using
            End Using
        Catch ex As Exception
            DE(ex)
        End Try
    End Function
    Friend Function DecompressBytes(ByVal bytes() As Byte) As String
        Try
            Using store As New IO.MemoryStream(bytes)
                Using decompressor As New IO.Compression.GZipStream(store, IO.Compression.CompressionMode.Decompress)
                    store.Position = 0
                    Using reader As New IO.StreamReader(decompressor)
                        Return reader.ReadToEnd
                    End Using
                End Using
            End Using
        Catch ex As Exception
            DE(ex)
        End Try
    End Function

You are right... it works on the fly... I am not sure why it isnt working in a DB scenario...
