Hi All,
I have a binary file, the first few k of which contains some
information which I need to stick in to an array of types,let's call
them Wongas.
Each Wonga is made up of two ulongs and a 24 byte character array.
I need to read in an array of Wongas from the binary file and I need
to specify how many to read in, as the file is only Wongas for the
first few k .What's more, the wongas don't start at the beginning of
the file, they are a few bytes in
In C I could just set the file pointer and then read in a set number
of Wongas in to an array of structures using one read() function.
I am seeing examples of deserializing arrays of Wongas, using the
Deserialize method of the BinaryFormatter , but I don't see a way of
setting the number of wongas retrieved. I get the impression it just
carries on till the end of the file, and as the file is nearly a Giga
byte, that could cause problems.
Any ideas ?
TIA
Kevin R.

Using VB.NET I want to read in an XML file that has an array of objects and

Can anyone please explain to me why the code below throws an exception?
It seems to occur when deserializing an instance of a subclass, whose
base class holds a struct, where said struct holds an instance to a
reference type (but not System.String).
The commented out code are lines that when enabled (and any conflicting
lines disabled) stop the exception from being thrown.
Thanks kindly,
Andrew.

I am saving and restoring value types such as Int32, DateTime and Boolean in
strings. I was wondering if there is a mechanism build into .NET for
serializing and deserializing these to string format. I can, of course,
serialize a class to a file, either binary or XML, but this is not what I am
looking for. Currently I am using ToString() or Convert.xxx to do this, but
thought that if there was a true serializer, deserializer, that would be...

Hi All -
I am creating a upgrade utility that transfers an bin / exe image over an
xml stream. But I can not seem to get the deserialization of the binary
field to work correctly. What I have is a base 64 encoded field but when I
try to deserialize, I throw an XML / reflection exception. However, if I
remove the base64 (m_Data) stuff everything works fine. I clearly have a
problem with my m_Data set-up. Does anybody know how to do this?...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
