How to read Binary file Created in UNIX using VB.net

Hi All,

I have binary file created in Unix

I now need to read it using VB.net and doo some procesing.

There is some conversion between bigendian and little endians.

I know the structure of the file of the binary file..... Any suggestions

Your help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

Read each byte from the binary file, then based on the conversion you shift it right or left to match the *-endian nature. Just a 1 cent answer in 1 second. So do not mind.

Somewhere burried in the .NET classes I remember seeing conversion stuff for BigEndian and LittleEndian.
