Thanks Paul. You are correct in assuming that the object is a byte[]. Your command worked except for one small issue. At the end of the string is some text that messes up the html. It is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

<form name="form1" method="post" action="Default.aspx" id="form1">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/wEPDwUJNzgzNDMwNTMzZGTDH6DkceZcgjl3lgkIoHipA0YqKg==" />
</div>
<div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>If I remove it manually things are good. Any idea why this "extra junk" is getting there?
Thanks again for all of your help.
