C# MemoryStream File VB.NET

MemoryStream is widely used for its speed and simplicity. You can convert a MemoryStream to a PDF file and also convert a PDF file back to a MemoryStream using C# or VB.NET. Using a MemoryStream avoids the latency of reading or writing files on disk and eliminates the need for extra disk space because the data stays in memory. For example, if a file is loaded into a MemoryStream, you can process it directly without writing it to disk first. Below we explore MemoryStream‑to‑File and File‑to‑MemoryStream conversions in C#:
