  • Mr. Poll

    You can encode it to base64 string, then place it in the XML like any other string:

    byte    [] binaryData = new byte[fileStream.Length];

    string xmlData;

    fileStream.Read (binaryData,0,(int)fileStream.Length);

    fileStream.Close ();

    xmlData = System.Convert.ToBase64String (binaryData,0,binaryData.Length );

    ... (place xmlData in the XML)
