Binary streams in c#, please help [RESOLVED]

[Lucas82]

Hi,

I've got a weird problem with a while loop in c#. It seems like it's behaving like an IF statement

I have this code:

Byte[] bytesRead = new Byte[10];
while((intBytes = myTcpClientStream.Read(bytesRead, 0, bytesRead.Length)) > 0){
  binaryWriter.Write(bytesRead, 0, intBytes);
  bytesRead = new Byte[10];
}
//etc.

The total amount of bytes being written here, is 51. It repeats 6 times, which is good. But then it gots stuck or something at the while statement. It never reaches the statements after the loop.

I tried to change the number of bytes that will be read to 51 or even to 1, but no luck. For some reason, the code doesn't know what to do if the evaluation for the loop is false.

Strangely, this works well:

Byte[] bytesRead = new Byte[51];
intBytes = myTcpClientStream.Read(bytesRead, 0, bytesRead.Length);
binaryWriter.Write(bytesRead, 0, intBytes);
// etc.

But, obviously, this last code isn't very generic...

So, now I got stuck here. Any suggestions are welcome! Maybe I did something wrong with the syntax? Simple while loops (like: while(x == true){ x = false; }) do work fine.

I'm using .NET Framework 1.1, VS.NET 2003, C# 1.1
