[RESOLVED] Reading Bytes (Little Endian/Big Endian)

[Mal1t1a]

Hi there, I've stumbled upon another problem. I need to be able to read bytes in Little Endian and in Big Endian as well. Is this possible to do in VB? I know that VB reads in Little Endian by default, but I also need to read in Big Endian.

I have tried this:

Dim i1 as Long
Dim fs As New IO.FileStream(filename, IO.FileMode.Open)
Dim br As New IO.BinaryReader(fs, System.Text.Encoding.BigEndianUnicode)
Dim lBytes As Long = fs.Length
fs.Position = 0
i1 = br.ReadInt32()
fs.close
br.close
fs.dispose
Msgbox(i1)

This return the value "1616183296" when it is supposed to return "21856". I've opened the file up in Hex Workshop, and looking at it in Little Endian, I do get the value of "1616183296" and in Big Endian, I get the value of "21856". So Obviously I'm not doing it right.

Can anyone help with this? Thanks!
