Upload File using MDS WCF API

Question

I have a field of File Type in my Entity. How can I upload file using WCF API?

I tried to create a new Entity Member and added the following attribute in the member attributes collection

Attribute att = new Attribute();
att.Identifier = new Identifier();
att.Identifier.Name = "Image";

att.Value = bytes;

In attribute value I tried to pass the bytes array of an image, also tried Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes); as attribute value, but none of them works.

With byte array i get the following exception "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'System.Byte[]' to data type int." and in case of ASCII string i get "A database error has occurred. Contact your system administrator." error.

There is lack of documentation and samples.

Please let me know if someone tried it out.

Thanks!

I solved it now finally.

here is the code

            att.Type = AttributeValueType.File;            
            att.Value = new FileAttribute();
            (att.Value as FileAttribute).Content = bytes;
            (att.Value as FileAttribute).Name = "refresh.png";

Thanks!
