使用StreamReader，然后你可以使用ReadToEnd方法返回一个字符串。

只使用方法Convert。ToBase64String

Convert.ToBase64String(inputStream.ToArray());

这个示例展示了如何从MemoryStream中读取字符串，其中我使用了序列化(使用DataContractJsonSerializer)，将字符串从某个服务器传递到客户端，然后，如何从作为参数传递的字符串中恢复MemoryStream，然后，反序列化MemoryStream。

我使用了不同帖子的一部分来执行这个示例。

希望这能有所帮助。

            Console.WriteLine("New object 'Person' in the server side:");
            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Id: {0}, Name: {1}, Birthday: {2}.", p.Id, p.Name, p.BirthDate.ToShortDateString()));
            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Phone: {0} {1}", p.Phones[0].Type.ToString(), p.Phones[0].Number));

            var g = GetMemoryStreamFromString(f);
            g.Position = 0;
            var ser2 = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(Person));
            var p2 = (Person)ser2.ReadObject(g);

            Console.Write(Environment.NewLine);

你也可以使用

Encoding.ASCII.GetString(ms.ToArray());

我不认为这是低效率，但我不能保证。它还允许您选择不同的编码，而使用StreamReader时，您必须将其指定为参数。

byte[] array = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("MyTest1 - MyTest2");
MemoryStream streamItem = new MemoryStream(array);

// convert to string
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(streamItem);
string text = reader.ReadToEnd();

这个示例展示了如何将字符串读写到MemoryStream。

Imports System.IO

Module Module1
  Sub Main()
    ' We don't need to dispose any of the MemoryStream 
    ' because it is a managed object. However, just for 
    ' good practice, we'll close the MemoryStream.
    Using ms As New MemoryStream
      Dim sw As New StreamWriter(ms)
      sw.WriteLine("Hello World")
      ' The string is currently stored in the 
      ' StreamWriters buffer. Flushing the stream will 
      ' force the string into the MemoryStream.
      sw.Flush()
      ' If we dispose the StreamWriter now, it will close 
      ' the BaseStream (which is our MemoryStream) which 
      ' will prevent us from reading from our MemoryStream
      'sw.Dispose()

      ' The StreamReader will read from the current 
      ' position of the MemoryStream which is currently 
      ' set at the end of the string we just wrote to it. 
      ' We need to set the position to 0 in order to read 
      ' from the beginning.
      ms.Position = 0
      Dim sr As New StreamReader(ms)
      Dim myStr = sr.ReadToEnd()
      Console.WriteLine(myStr)

      ' We can dispose our StreamWriter and StreamReader 
      ' now, though this isn't necessary (they don't hold 
      ' any resources open on their own).
      sw.Dispose()
      sr.Dispose()
    End Using

    Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue.")
    Console.ReadKey()
  End Sub
End Module
