They both end up with the same result, but the first one allows you to read it in smaller chunks if you need to. The FileBytes property always returns a single array which holds the whole file. If for example the file exceeded the .NET 2GB limit on single objects, the second method would fail, where you could use the stream to access the large object in chunks.
