1 New Member
Hello,

My task is to send data packets on network.
I've file which I have serialized by using Serialize() method of binaryformatter class and now I want to convert the file into array of bytes and then get the length of the byte array and convert into reasonable no. of data packets which will be passed to a method and then send over a network.

I've just aserialized file so plz reply to this article as soon as possible.

Does the file have to be serialized?

Reading in a file to a Byte[] is a very basic task. Just open the file and read it all in. All arrays in managed code have a .Length property telling you how big they are.

And as for sending the packets, that's all handled at the driver level (at least for tcp/ip). The two endpoints auto-negotiate a window size(data size) and send multiple packets on their own. So you *should* be able to just do a socket send of the whole chunk and it will packetize it for you.
Unless your sending protocol wants you to send it piecewise and get responses back.
