Writing and then reading a binary- inconsistency/incorrect

  1. public void WritingABinaryBun() ///Writing

  29.                 //long length1 = (long)b.BaseStream.Length;  
  30.

  32.                 {

  34.                     //double v1 = b.ReadDouble();  
  35.   
  36.                     pos += sizeof(int);  
  37.   
  38.   
  39.

  41.             }

  44.   
  45.         }  
 

Below are 2 code snippets (which are a concise form of my code) which I'm using for writing and reading a binary file.

 
As you see, I have written 3 integer values into a binary file.
 
 
But when I read the same file through the second code snippet, I see only the foirst integer value of -1 is correctly read in.
 
Can anybody please help em understand why is it so?
 
I am using C#
