BinaryReader Object issues

I haven't yet encountered that one but perhaps others have. Try putting it in a new topic. Every problem here is worth posting. Chances are, more people will be able to read it if in a new topic.

Cheers.

Thanks for your help, I've got it working now and discovered how much initialising of objects I need to do.

I have got another issue now, but I don't think it is worthy of a new topic.  I am now exporting the binary data to file using BinaryWriter and I'm just outputting the exact same data I have read in using BinaryReader.  Stepping through the program, everything appears to be in order but when I check the binary file, extra zeros are appearing at seemingly random places.

Has anyone seen this sort of thing with BinaryWriter before?

hmm... strange. This works fine for me.

public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        MM_Format_Class MarkerInfo = new MM_Format_Class();

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Process();
        }

        private void Process()
        {
            System.IO.FileStream FS = new System.IO.FileStream(@"c:\test.txt", System.IO.FileMode.Open);
            System.IO.BinaryReader BR = new System.IO.BinaryReader(FS);

            ReadHeader(ref BR);


            BR.Close();
            FS.Close();
        }

        private void ReadHeader(ref System.IO.BinaryReader BR)
        {
            for (int ii = 0; ii < 32; ii++)
            {
                MarkerInfo.Header.bB1_32[ii] = BR.ReadByte();
            }
        }
    }


Could you try hardcoding the filename instead? and put 50 characters on the file.

Woops, I didn't think of that!

I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong though.  This is how I declare the byte array type:

public class MM_Header_Class
    {
        public byte[] bB1_32 = new byte[32];
    }

and the parent class:

public class MM_Format_Class
    {
        public MM_Header_Class Header = new MM_Header_Class();
    }

and in an initialise function the main variable:

MM_Format_Class MarkerInfo = new MM_Format_Class();

but I still get the same issue.  I know it must be something obvious, can you see it?
