Decoding data and return as Byte

Hi All,

I am creating an asp page dynamically and saving it in database as binary data (Datatype Image). While creating this asp page some part of this page is from FreeTextBox. FreeTextBox can have some special charachter. When I write this asp page from Database using Response.BinaryWrite it renders well but the special characters like(-,') etc does not come up well.

How can I decode the data and return it as Bytes as Response.BinaryWrite returns bytes

Thanks.
