binary/random files

[LottoactiveX]

Hi all!

I need to write a binary (or random) file with fixed-length structures: I have my struct , an array of type "mystruct", and I have to write/read it from a file.

I found the stream classes, but work just with base-type or byte-array...

Some solution?

Thanx!

for writing
FileStream fs=new FileStream(filename,FileMode.Create);
BinaryWriter wr=new BinaryWriter(fs)
wr.write(your variable name);

for reading this data
FileStream fs=new FileStream(filename,FileMode.Open);
BinaryReader rd=new BinaryReader(fs);

in this section you must use variable type reading format
for example if you write an integer value with binarywriter use must use
rd.ReadInt32();
command
or a boolean value use must use rd.ReadBool();
command;

for reading all records and assigning them to an array you can make a loop like this

[CODE]
i=0;
while(fs.Position!=fs.Length)
{
array[i]=rd.ReadString();// rd.ReadInt32() or rd.ReadDouble()
i++;
}

Thank you, it sims to work if I make the struct serializable.
