Can BinaryReader be forced to read a stream, say a TCP/IP stream or memory
stream or even file stream in big endian order or do I have to write
something custom to reverse the byte order? So, for example, I'd like a
Windows client PC (native little endian) to be able to read a network stream
coming in as big endian. I want to be able to read a short for example
without worrying about flipping the bytes.
Thank you,
Laszlo

Yes, it does *now* - but it's not guaranteed that it will in the
future. You're relying on the implementation of GetFields not changing,
and I suspect it's very likely that it will in the future.

Hmmm. OK. Then how else would I do something like this. It really would
be helpful if I could read a struct / class out of a stream (like you can in
C++) without resorting to unsafe code and pointers.

If that works, is there an equivalent for a class? Unfortunately, with a
struct, if you have an array of any kind, you can't specify how many in that
array, so my algorithm won't work, whereas with a class, you can go
public short[] shrt = new short[5];

It wouldn't guarantee the order fields are returned in, no. It
determines the order of the fields in memory, but that's different.

Well, you could always sort the fields yourself, eg alphabetically.

Hi,
I need to parse a file. This means reading from it as from std::istream.
But - sometimes I also need to put-back some text I read before.
What type of string can I use for that? Something like:
void cLine::Load(std::istream &data) {
data.ignore(4); // ignore word "line"
char c; // ignore { and } chars
data >> c >> x1 >> y1 >> x2 >> y2 >> c;

Hello,I am trying to read from a zip stream and one of the files is of a
0 size (0 bytes)- Exception is thrown as a result but there are some
other files after it in a stream which I want to keep reading and
writing to temp dir. How can I deal such exception.
I get error when in the end I want to erase the temp dir and it won't
let me because the 0 bytes file is being used by other process.
How to solve it?
Thank you!

Hi,
I want to read a string a chars from a stream, and put it into a
string.
At the moment, I'm creating a buffer of a fixed size, and reading the
stream of text into it. It works, but I have to create a buffer of a
pre-defined length: (ConstBufferByteSize=10000000). How can I read a
stream into a buffer or string without knowing the number of chars the
stream will contain?

Hello everyone,
I try to read a stream and save it as byte array to add it later to zip file.
this is the code that I use
Dim totalbytes As Byte() = Nothing
Dim iBytesRead As Integer
Dim sChunks As FileStream = File.OpenRead("c:\myfile.wav")
Dim Totalread As Int64 = 0
ReDim totalbytes(sChunks.Length)
