Prevent writing a binary file

1 New Member
Hello,

I am new to the Bytes forum. I've noticed that binary files are not the same as text files. Text files use a StreamWriter. Binary files use a BinaryWriter.
Audio and video files are examples of binary files.

By using the BinaryWriter class, I want to know how could I prevent a binary file from writing to a destination file or prevent from making a duplicate of another binary file?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
