VS 2008 What Does This Line Exactly Do - I = Stream.Read(bytes, 0, Bytes.Length)
Dec 28, 2010What exactly does this line do?
i = stream.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
Does it read the entire message string sent by the client? I have a line to write to the stream later in the code and that does not seem to be sending anything back to the client, although the code around is excuting.
i = stream.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
While (i <> 0)
Try

File I/O And Registry - Modifying Bytes In File Without Rewrite
May 12, 2012I've been trying for a long time to create a sorted table of values in a particularly specific way, and I seem to be running into a wall in .NET's file operations. The premise is this - I'm creating a table of values which are being stored as [1 Byte][2 Bytes][3 Bytes]. The location within the file is a value that relates to these three stored values, and so I'm attempting to seek to a specific position in the file, write the 6 bytes into that position, and repeat. There are literally billions of these values, and the total file size is over 100 GB.
Now, I've tried multiple methods to do this, but every single time, it decides it needs to rewrite the ENTIRE FILE every time any change is made. This results in every one of these billions of iterations taking a good 15 minutes, making the task literally impossible. I'm using .NET 4, and I've attempted to use Text, Binary, and Random Access to get it not to rewrite the entire file every edit, but it simply will not obey.
So my question boils down to this: How do I edit specific bytes in a file without writing more than just those bytes? The entire file has been pre-created to the precise size required, and no bytes will be added or deleted in the process. I simply need to overwrite the bytes that already exist.

View 1 RepliesReading The First Bytes Of A File?
Mar 17, 2010I've got a web app where I'm trying to validate that an uploaded file is .PDF. I can't use ContentType because if the user renames the file to have a ".PDF" extension, the browser reports the MIME type to be ".PDF" even if it isn't.
I understand that one way to "validate" that a file is a PDF file is to look at the first four bytes, which should always be "%PDF". How do I open and read the first four bytes of a file in VB.NET to see whether or not they are equal to "%PDF"?

Variables - Reading Bytes In A File?
Jan 2, 2010After getting the file name I create a new filestream and load all the bytes from the FileStream into a byte array, now I need to get certain bytes and store them in fields like the second 4 bytes are the time the file was created. When storing these in the variables should I store them as bytes or as string/integers/etc.
Or have I done it completely wrong?
EDIT:Should I be doing this way instead of a filestream?
