Filestream Byte Sections

[davesil2]

I'm trying to pass sections of the byte array at a time with error checking. Right now I have code that I thought would work but appearantly does not.

 

Basically I'm trying to read a file into the stream reader then pick a section of byte to grab from it to pass to something else. I'm basically using something close the the following pseudo code.

 

dim fs as filestream = new filestream("C:\autoexec.bat", FileMode.open)

dim ByteFileSection() as byte = new byte(50) {} (I'm not sure what the curly brackets do)

fs.read(bytefilesection, startByte, length)

 

I basically do this in a loop and the startbyte increases by 50 every time arround. Perhaps someone has an example or something that I might be able to use.

something like this?

	Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
	Dim fs As New FileStream("c:\dummy.txt", FileMode.Open)
	Dim tr As New BinaryReader(fs)
	While tr.BaseStream.Position < tr.BaseStream.Length
		Dim bytes(50) As Byte
		bytes = tr.ReadBytes(bytes.Length)
		ProcessBytes(bytes)
	End While
End Sub

Private Sub ProcessBytes(ByVal bytes() As Byte)
	Dim ascii As New ASCIIEncoding
	Dim decoded As String = ascii.GetString(bytes)
	TextBox1.AppendText(decoded)
End Sub
