Non-Sequential Binary Reads

Does anyone know of a .net class that allows for non-sequential reading
of binary files? It would offer a Seek() function or something similar.
The BinaryReader appears to only read forward from the beginning of the
data (much like the SqlDataReader does).

Any suggestions?

One of the Read() overloads takes an index.

I apologize, I didn't read your question correctly. Call Seek() off the
BaseStream property.
