problem showing PDF in Blazer page from byte array

I have gone through all the suggestions for how to take a byte array stored in SQL Server db as varbinary and display it as PDF in a Blazor website. I'm successful in ASP.Net with the aspx pages and code behind but I can't seem to find the right combination for Blazor (ShowPDF.razor and code behind ShowPDF.razor.cs) Here is what I have as variants in the code behind:

1. The aReport.ReportDocument is returning a byte array of aReport.DocumentSize from the DB

    FileStreamResult GetPDF()   {       var pdfStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();       this.rdb = new ReportData();       aReport = rdb.GetWithReport(1);         pdfStream.Write(aReport.ReportDocument, 0, aReport.DocumentSize);       pdfStream.Position = 0;       return new FileStreamResult(pdfStream, new Microsoft.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/pdf"));   }  

OR 2. direct binary array to base 64 encoding:

return Convert.ToBase64String(aReport.ReportDocument);

While those two processes return the data, I'm unable to find how to set up the razor page to show the result. I have tried: <object src="@Url.Action("GetPDF")"/> and other variants without success.

Thanks!
