Sequential file access in C# [Net 1.1]

[nostradumbass77]

I am building a custom utility application and need to read and write
structures to a disk file.

It was simple in Visual Basic using Types to define the structure and
then
using Put to write it to file / Get to read it.


Is there any component / class library developed for use with C# ?

Would appreciate any links to working examples out there ?

Thanks for any replies,
ND

Hi Michael.

Thanks! I will try this out and post here if I cannot get it to work
the way I need it.

If the consumption of these files is other .NET applications, then this
is fine. However, if the information needs to be consumed outside of .NET,
then this is not going to work at all. You will have to write the file out
yourself.
