Hello there, Shad0wX.

Well, to start off I'd like to welcome you to the Bytes Community. I'd also, like to point you to the Posting Guidelines as you have posted a Homework Question it seems.

Now to help out with the problem, I'm gonna ask a few questions first;

1) Are you using the StreamReader and StreamWriter classes to open the file?

2) Is the file binary, (as your title just says C# Binary)?

Now, I'll suggest that you use Functions and Methods in the String Class to perform the actions you have requested, if you need further help, please ask and post a code sample of what you currently have. Thanks, and welcome again :)

Thanks, well its a bmp but i need to open like a hex editor would delete the last 4 bytes and swap the first 44 bytes with the last 44 bytes.

I never have been any good with opening and editing bytes
