Deserialization throws an exception for this bit of C# code

Answer 1

Just tested your code, it worked, the code is fine. There must be a problem with the image file or path. This is my test:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)     
       {
            byte[] data = File.ReadAllBytes("c:\\t.jpg");

            using (Stream originalBinaryDataStream = new MemoryStream(data))
            {
                // This works perfectly fine, if use this method (which i can't).
                //image = new Bitmap("Chick.jpg");


                // This throws an exception when it's deserialized.
                // It doesn't like the memory stream reference?
                originalBinaryDataStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End);
                pictureBox1.Image=  new Bitmap(originalBinaryDataStream);
            }
        }

And I see the image in the PictureBox.

I suspect that in your real code you are writing to a MemoryStream and not rewinding it; if this is the case, set Position to 0 before you try to re-load it.

I've updated the initial question post with a link the entire VS solution (which is one class and one unit test). The unit test throws the fail fail fail exception. Please check it out.

Anyone else have any suggestions?
