cannot read file

Hi,

I cannot make this VB6 code to work in VB.NET.

Dim buffer As String
Dim tmp_i As Long

Open FileName For Binary Access Read As #1
buffer = Input(FileLen(F ileName), #1)
tmp_i = FileLen(FileNam e)
Close #1
I tried this :

Dim buffer As String
Dim tmp_i As integer

Dim idF As Integer = FreeFile()
FileOpen(idF, FileName, OpenMode.Binary , OpenAccess.Read )
Input(idF, buffer)
tmp_i = FileLen(FileNam e)
FileClose(idF)
but it doesn't read the file to the end...the resulting buffer lenght in VB6
is different

How can I read a binary file into a string type buffer ?

Try:

Dim _sr As New System.IO.Strea mReader(FileNam e)

Dim _buffer As String = _sr.ReadToEnd()

_sr.Close

Dim _i As Int32 = _buffer.Length

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
