Hello,
I am trying to read from an xml file and put it to a memory stream so I can
read it multiple times from the beginning using XmlTextReader without
accessing the harddisk , I tried using FileStream but it locked the xml file
so I can't access it anymore until I close the filestream, so my question is
how to read from the file to the memorystream directly or read to the
filestream first and the copy it to the memorystream?
Thanks

Hi Yehia,
You might want to try loading the xml file into an XmlDocument instead of parsing it multiple times using a reader.
But if you want to use a MemoryStream then here's some code:
string file = @"C:\file.xm l";
// .NET 2.0
byte[] bytes = System.IO.File. ReadAllBytes(fi le);
/* .NET 1.*
byte[] bytes = null;
using (System.IO.File Stream fileStream = new System.IO.FileS tream(
file, System.IO.FileM ode.Open, System.IO.FileA ccess.Read))
{
System.IO.Binar yReader reader = new System.IO.Binar yReader(fileStr eam);
bytes = reader.ReadByte s((int) fileStream.Leng th);
}
*/
using (System.IO.Memo ryStream stream = new System.IO.Memor yStream(bytes))
{
System.Xml.XmlT extReader reader = System.Xml.XmlT extReader.Creat e(stream);
...
}

but I read that XmlDocument is slow for large documents so I used
XmlTextReader,
what does "large" mean anyway? 1 MB, 100 MB, 500 MB?
my xml document is 1.5 Mb and has about 6000 element, is this considered
big? will be any performance hit using XmlDocument with this size of
document?
and another irrelevant question
string file = @"C:\file.xm l"; --what does @ mean
Hi Yehia,
Well I would suggest that you use XmlTextReader to save memory and only switch to XmlDocument if you start experiencing performance
problems that you can be sure are caused by multiple iterations of your source xml.
@ symbol in C# tells the compiler to treat the following string as a literal, without escapes.
"Hello\n" // = Hello{newline}
@"Hello\n" // = Hello\n
"Hello\"" // = Hello"
@"Hello\"" // won't compile because \ no longer escapes the "
@"Hello""" // = Hello" (double-quote becomes a single quote)
One great thing about @ is that you can use it on strings to span multiple lines in code and preserve the new lines:
string multiline = @"First Line
Second Line
Third Line";

Hi
I have to write images(.gif/.bmp/.jpg/.ico), to db and read them. Uploading
images to db works fine for me. Reading from db to byte is also ok. But,
when I try to display them in my form controls, I get this error.
This is how it goes :

byte bImage1 = (byte)datasetImageList.Tables.Rows;
System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(bImage1, 0, bImage1.Length);
this.lblRunImage.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(ms); //...

Hi all,
I've got a SQL Server database that contains zipped information stored
in (binary) image fields. To complicate things, this zipped data is
combined with plain-text data.
I've verified the zipped data to be readable by SharpZipLib by writing
the field contents to a file and using a binary editor to manually
strip the plaintext data in front of it.

Hello,
In my application I have to read sometimes quite big chunk of binary data.
I have a buffer which default size is 32000 bytes.
But how could I read binary data that exceeds 32000 bytes?
Is allocating more size to buffer and copy data that exceeds 32000 bytes at
tail the only way
or are there any other possibilities?
