convert read in C to C#

[Guest]

Is there any equivalent in C# to this statement in C

read(fd,idxs,30*sizeof(unsigned int));

where idxs =(unsigned int *) calloc(30,sizeof(unsigned int)); ?

Bascially, I have an array of unsigned integers in C#. I would like to read
an array of bytes from a file an immediately insert it into the array idxs.
Is this possible?

My C is real, real rusty. But the BinaryReader has overrides
to deal with specific byte placement.

If you want to read UInt32s, use BinaryReader's ReadUInt32.

Unfortunately, there's no direct way that I can see. Either you do 30
ReadUint32s as others recommended, or do one ReadBytes into a byte[] then
loop through that copying the Uints out, 4 bytes at a time.
