A byte array can be anything. How was it generated/what does it contain?
If it was generated from a zip stream or zip file, you just need to write it to disk with a BinaryWriter.

Try:

C#

File.WriteAllBytes(@"D:\Temp\Myfile.zip", dataBytesFromDB);

If the data is a zip file, this will recreate it. If it isn't, and what you are actually asking for is "how to I create a new zip file containing this array of bytes?" then look at this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17217077/create-zip-file-from-byte[^]
