Serialization - random files

How do you read/write random access binary files in .Net?

Code snippets would be cool.

You would have to use the Compatibility namespace and do it the same as in VB6 or write a custom serializer for that. Otherwise you'd just serialize a collection of objects and deserialize the whole collection back to use it.

How would I code that? (the namespace part not the VB6 code)

Run your VB6 code through the Upgrade Wizard.

try this, unsure if it would give you correct results, but it should work...

Try getting a list of all processes : Process.GetProcesses()
Loop through all of them and check their MainWindowHandle and MainWindowTitle property. I think when there is no window, the window handle would be zero. If it's not zero, then you can just get the title of the window using the other property I just mensioned.

edit:
hmmp, maybe not:D
tried this:

VB Code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        ListBox1.Items.Clear()
 
        Dim p() As Process = Process.GetProcesses()
 
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To p.GetUpperBound(0)
            If Not p(i).MainWindowHandle.ToInt32 = 0 Then
                ListBox1.Items.Add(p(i).MainWindowTitle)
            End If
        Next
    End Sub

and it seems like it doesnt get all the windows hehe....

Great!

That's close enough to fool the boss!
