How to write a file in VB6.0 and read it in VB.net

[biw]

Hello.

I need to write a list of Longs to a file in an application written in VB6.0, and then read the same file through an application written in VB.net.

Writing the file in VB6.0 I can do as follows:

Dim fs As Integer
            
            fs = FreeFile    ' Get unused filenumber.
            Open strFile For Binary Access Write As #fs
                                                                        
            Put #fs, , lng_Data
            
            Close #fs

..where lng_Data is an array of longs

But how do I read this array back into memory in VB.net?
Using a binary streamreader.. I am only allowed to read byte-arrays.

In VB.net, I could serialize/deserialize the array, but that is not compatible with VB6.0.

Ideas?

best reg.
