Thanks for your reply. But I do want to poject myself as hep ie. with the
new implementations . FileRead, though I have used in the past reliably,
sounds backward to me.
No?

What's "hep" (sorry, I really don't know...).
ie. with the new implementations .
If you want to make experiences with the file access classes in 'System.IO',
play around with them. Then you can decide what you like best: VB.NET's
file access methods (sometimes a valuable shortcut) or the I/O classes.

This may sound stupid but I don't see System.IO in the list of .Net
Components when I tried to reference it.
Am I doing something wrong?

'System.IO' is a namespace. If "System.dll " is referenced, it should be
available.

I just noticed that the Stream class has a Seek method, which implies that a
FileStream object can be used to manipulate a random-access file. Before
now, I assumed that a Stream, as its name implies, could only stream
sequential data.
Are there any advantages / disadvantages to using a FileStream to manage a
random access file, as opposed to using FileOpen, FilePut, and FileGet? I am
thinking specifically about performance advantages --...

Hello:
When I use either one to read a Text file, I get the same result. The length
of the string that the file's content has been written into is the same.
However, if the file is binary, FileGet gets me the correct content while
StreamReader gives me a truncated string.
Can somebody advise me why? Should I be using BinaryReader instead of
StreamReader? Would BinaryReader work on text files?

Hi everyone,
I am accessing several binary (PCL) files sequentially using a for
loop. For each file I am using the fileget() command to populate the
contents of the file into a string. I use the following commands to
do so:
LengthofOverlay = FileLen(PCLOven_Burn_Directory & OverlayForm)
OverlayContent = StrDup(LengthofOverlay, "x")
Seek(OverlayInteger, 1)

I have some code I converted from VB6 to read some binary files.
FileGet of an int16 seems to be returning a zero instead of the correct
value.
Anybody heard of this, know of a work around?
Thanks

I am having a problem saving an image with the same name it originally had. I have two similar versions of my code, one in which I close the FileStream used to open the original image before saving, the other in which I close the FileStream afterwards, although both return the same error. Here are the two versions of the code and the errors they each return (NOTE: I rebooted immediately before running each of these versions so that I knew they...

Hi,
I'm currently making an application which reads a file and extracts information from it. Whole files are embedded in this single file, and information about each file that is embedded is stored at a specific location within this file.
fs = new FileStream(@"File Location", FileMode.Open);
br = new BinaryReader(fs);
rtbOutput.AppendText("English Title: " + getLanguage(br));
public string getLanguage(BinaryReader reader)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
