Reading and returning binary files (jpg/gif) from a file not a database

I have a class that needs to read in a binary file (jpgs/gifs) from the directory location and return the binary file - not the path to the file. I've searched online, .net studio documentation and havent found any examples of how to do this. I've found a few examples how to read binary data from a database, but nothing on reading it from a file and then returning the file itself.

thank you

Are you sure? Search more, you will find a lot!
Reading binary streams and dumping them to files is quite easy using System.IO classes, at least thats what i think.

thanxs, we'll keep looking system.io is what we've been trying to use.
