I've got code that allows me to render the contents of a
byte array to the screen, but I need to write the contents
to disk. Suggestions?
Thanks

I would agree that if you have the explicit type declaration on the
right side, then I would say var is ok on the left side. However, in the
case of a return value from a function, you are forcing a lookup for anyone
that has to maintain the code who might not know what the return value is.
As for book listings, I would say that it can be handy, but if used
improperly, or too gingerly, you aren't going to convey your points very
well. But I haven't written a book, so I can't say.

It adds ambiguity to the code, in the sense that you don't know what type you are working with (you have to know the return type of the Open method on the File class, which is unreasonable ). For projections on anonymous types in queries for LINQ, it definitely makes sense, but in cases where you know the type, I think it is a bad practice.
In this particular case, I *might* agree - because it's not clear what
File.Open returns, although it's *fairly* obvious.
When you're using an object creation expression as the right hand side,
I like it a lot, particularly when the names get long:
var namesToPeople = new Map<string,Pers on>();
is clearer to me than
Map<string,Pers onnamesToPeople = new Map<string,Pers on>();
There's no ambiguity at all - you can tell that namesToPeople is
definitely going to be of type Map<string,Pers on- but there's also no
redundancy, and less fluff to get in the way.
(It's particularly handy in listings for books, where horizontal space
is at a premium, but that's slightly different :)

Yes. I think it depends on what the method is though - File.Open is a
pretty common one, for instance. Various other methods are very obvious
in terms of what they return - Guid.NewGuid, for instance, although in
that case you'd only be saving a single character anyway.

Oh it's certainly got to be used with care, yes. And only after
explaining what it does :)
Oh god, don't tell me C# is becoming VB? <just kidding>

Hi
I want to write (or read) to a stream, but the data is not byte array
I converted the data to byte array manually, but it is very slow, (becuse the data is very large)
Is another way for this kind of writing and reading

My problem:
I load an some assemblies (strong named) from a byte array using
Assembly.Load(byte). They load fine. But one one of them is actually
accessed, it's referenced assemblies can't be found on disk and I get a

For example, let's say I have a C# win forms application called Prog.
Prog.exe uses Assembly.Load(byte) to load two C# class library assemblies,

Hi,
I'm trying to store all of my data into one file (there're about 140 things
to keep track of). I have no problem reading a specific string from the
array file, but I wasn't sure how to replace just one item. I know I can get
the entire array, then save the whole thing (with a for loop and if
statements so that the changed data will be saved), but it seems like a lot
of unnecessary reading and writing. Is there a way to directly save...

I want to cast a class into a byte array. I've seen some examples of this
floating around, but they all have simple data members. What happens if I
cast something that has a ArrayList or an Array?? Does it loop through the
array and cast them all and I end up with a big array (This is what I hope
will happen)? Or does it simple cast the pointer address and I end up with a
small array??

Here's what I need to do:
Due to a bug in Crystal Reports ExportToStream() method I can't stream a
Crystal Reports directly to the client as PDF and I must must use the
Export() and put the the PDF on disk first and stream to the client. That's
just how it is.
Question:
So I need to let the aspx user have write permissions to disk.. NOT GOOD.
How do I solve this? Can I somehow write the PDF to disk in another thread
with other writes?...

Hi
I am trying to save settings of controls on my form to a file so I can read
them back later and recreate the controls on the form. I have figured out
how to go through all controls and get their properties (see code below).
What I am not sure is; how and what type of file format I need to save the
info to and how to read it back. Would appreciate any help on that. A code
snippet would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
