get bytes from file

[sequoyan]

Hi,

I know how to do this with VB6 but have not figured it out with VB.NET, any help would be much appreciated.

I have a bitmap on the server which the VB.NET app needs to open and get all the bytes to an array for processing.

Here's the VB6 code I used for the old version:

    Open strFile For Binary As #f
        Get #f, , sArray()
    Close #f

and here's how far I've gotten with VB.NET:

FileOpen(1, SrcFile, OpenMode.Binary, OpenAccess.ReadWrite, OpenShare.Shared, -1)
      'WHAT GOES HERE?
FileClose(1)

Thanks for your help.

that's close but I just want to get all bytes from the file into any array. I don't want any one section of the bytes, I want them all.

Dim fs As New FileStream("C:\test.tst", FileMode.Open)
        Dim r(fs.Length) As Byte
        fs.Read(r, 0, fs.Length - 1)
        fs.Close()
        'r now contains all bytes
