This code snippet shows how to create binary data files in C#.
The code first checks if file already exists. If not, creates a new file and add data to it.
using System;
using System.IO;
namespace
FileOperationsSample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[]
args)
{
// Create
the new, empty data file.
string
fileName = @"C:\Temp.data";
if
(File.Exists(fileName))
{
Console.WriteLine(fileName
+ " already exists!");
return;
}
FileStream
fs = new FileStream(fileName,
FileMode.CreateNew);
// Create
the writer for data.
BinaryWriter
w = new BinaryWriter(fs);
// Write
data to Test.data.
for
(int i = 0; i < 11; i++)
{
w.Write((int)i);
}
w.Close();
fs.Close();
// Create
the reader for data.
fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
BinaryReader
r = new BinaryReader(fs);
// Read
data from Test.data.
for
(int i = 0; i < 11; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(r.ReadInt32());
}
r.Close();
fs.Close();
}
}
}
