Stream to ByteArray and Distinct datarows

To get Stream as Byte Array in VB.Net

Private Function GetStreamAsByteArray(ByVal stream As System.IO.Stream) As Byte()
Dim _streamLength As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(stream.Length)
Dim _fileData As Byte() = New Byte(_streamLength) {}
' Read the file into a byte array
stream.Read(_fileData, 0, _streamLength)
stream.Close()
Return _fileData
End Function

To select distinct data rows in a datatable:

private static DataTable SelectDistinct(DataTable SourceTable, params string[] FieldNames)
{
object[] lastValues;
DataTable newTable;
DataRow[] orderedRows;

if (FieldNames == null || FieldNames.Length == 0)
throw new ArgumentNullException("FieldNames");

lastValues = new object[FieldNames.Length];
newTable = new DataTable();

foreach (string fieldName in FieldNames)
newTable.Columns.Add(fieldName, SourceTable.Columns[fieldName].DataType);

orderedRows = SourceTable.Select("", string.Join(", ", FieldNames));

foreach (DataRow row in orderedRows)
{
if (!fieldValuesAreEqual(lastValues, row, FieldNames))
{
newTable.Rows.Add(createRowClone(row, newTable.NewRow(), FieldNames));

setLastValues(lastValues, row, FieldNames);
}
}

return newTable;
}

private static bool fieldValuesAreEqual(object[] lastValues, DataRow currentRow, string[] fieldNames)
{
bool areEqual = true;

for (int i = 0; i < fieldNames.Length; i++) { if (lastValues[i] == null || !lastValues[i].Equals(currentRow[fieldNames[i]])) { areEqual = false; break; } } return areEqual; } private static DataRow createRowClone(DataRow sourceRow, DataRow newRow, string[] fieldNames) { foreach (string field in fieldNames) newRow[field] = sourceRow[field]; return newRow; } private static void setLastValues(object[] lastValues, DataRow sourceRow, string[] fieldNames) { for (int i = 0; i < fieldNames.Length; i++) lastValues[i] = sourceRow[fieldNames[i]]; }
