Byte stream? That doesn't exist as far as I know.

As for FileStream and MemoryStream, they are what they say they are.
FileStream reads from\writes to a file while a Memory stream works with a
memory buffer.

I am working with the this object as oppose to the StreamReader object becuase I need to access a file (to find the contents) while an external application is updating the file. When I was working with the StreamReader object I got a deadlock when I tried reading the file while my external application was writing to it. So far I am able to create a FileStream object and open the file in question (CrawlerBackup.txt). But I am unable to...

I can't believe this is causing me as much difficulty as it is, but I have an Infragistics UltraTreeview control that I want to persist whatever the user has in the tree. It has a method SaveAsXml which puts the contents into a MemoryStream, which I convert to a string for persistance (I know Infragistics allows me to, but I can't store as a file for various reasons, so it's not a valid alternative). I'm using this code to put into a string...

I have a file opened as a FileStream. I have a StreamReader and StreamWriter object opened, referencing the FileStream object. My aim is to read lines from the file until I find the line where there is a unique comment as a place holder. I would then like to use the StreamWriter to insert lines after this comment and save the file. How do I instruct the StreamWriter to find the line position based on the

In the code below, I open a file using filestream, copy it to a byte array, and the write that array out to a new file. But when I check the size of the original file and the new file, the new file has one less byte than the original file (although the file itself still works fine). I was hoping someone could explain what is going on (why is there a byte missing, and what might that byte be). string originalFile =...

Hi there, Hello everybody. I am a newbie to dot net framework class lib. I am confused about those classes such as all of the stream classes and those XXXReader XXXWriter. In fact, I have tried the StreamReader(which can read in big5 encoding text files well) and besides, I have tried the BufferedStream to do the same thing. It does work fine except that It can't interpret the Chinese big5 words well(which becomes messy code around)....

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
