hi, ive been trying to figure out how i can get any type of file read in as
literally bytes. i tried using the binary reader, but if there was text at
all in the file, all i got was the text and the encoding for it. i want to
read all files in as there bit values...how can i do this?

Use the StreamReader class. Use the ReadBlock & Read methods.

You'll probably need the Convert class as well.

Hope it helps.

Take a look at the 'FileStream' class.
