Bug in code stage

Blue Prism Trial 

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to report a bug I encountered while using the Code Stage in Blue Prism.

While working with the Code Stage, specifically when attempting to set a DataTable containing a Binary type row to an out collection, I encountered the following error:

“Internal : Could not execute code stage: Conversion from type ‘Byte()’ to type ‘String’ is not valid.”

To provide context, below is a snippet of the sample code I was using:

var dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Column1",typeof(Byte[]));
dt.Rows.Add(File.ReadAllBytes(@"C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg"));
outParam=dt;

I would appreciate it if you could investigate this issue further and provide guidance or a solution to resolve it. If you require any additional information or assistance from my end, please feel free to ask.

i am using Blueprism trail version 7.2.1.7446 (x64) and .net version is 4.8.9181

Thank you.

Best regards,
Naveen.

Try changing the 3rd line to

DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();

dr[0] = File.ReadAllBytes(@"C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg");

dt.Rows.Add(dr);
