Byte Array from SQL Reporting Service

Question

I am calling the Render method of the Microsoft SQL Reporting
Service's ReportExecution web service. It returns a Byte array in
the lastResult object. I am having the hardest time figuring out a
way to convert that byte array into something I can use in Flex.
The byte array, once converted into a more user friendly format,
will contain the rendered version of a SQL Report in whatever
format I have specified...in this case it is XML. Any input or
suggestions would be appreciated.

This is a little late, I know. but I just spent the day
struggling with this very issue. Hopefully this can help someone
else in the future. Here's my solution...
on MX:Operation -- result="fillXML()"
then
private function fillXML(): void {
var x:XML = new
XML(wsProps.GetDatasetData.lastResult.toString());
...do what you need with your xml...
I use an XMLList node of the result as the source property
for an XMLListCollection bound to a datagrid. Let me know if you
need more help to get it working. It works like a charm now that I
figured that out. I don't know if it's a slimy hack, or not, but it
gets the job done.
