Writing binary files in server [ASP]

Hello All,

I got a code snippet for writing binary files in (iis) server.

Code:

---

Function SaveBinaryData(FileName, ByteArray)

  Dim BinaryStream
  Set BinaryStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")

  BinaryStream.Type = 1
 
  BinaryStream.Open
  BinaryStream.Write ByteArray

  BinaryStream.SaveToFile FileName, 2
End Function

filename = request.querystring("filename")
root = Server.MapPath("/test")

Response.write( root & "/" & filename)
SaveBinaryData  root & "/" & filename,"ddddddddd"

---

But this throws error "ADODB.Stream (0x800A0BB9)
Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another." at the highlighted line.

a search didn't gave much information

any help would be appreciated.
thanks

If you are using ASP, that means you are attempting to do this at the server-side. So how come you haven't declared the server for the created object?

Code:

---

Set BinaryStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")

---

EDIT: And is this where you got the example?

yes

That's because you are passing the string "ddddddddd" to a parameter that wants a ByteArray. You probably should be working with the second example on that webpage.
