Cutting up a binary File

Hi all,

How do I turn a binary file (>500kb) into 1024byte chunks? I know how to open the file and get it into a byte array, but I'm stuck from there...

Thanks,

Peter

Where will these chunks be? 500 separate files?

You could declare a byte array with 1024 elements 0 to 1023
and then use BR.ReadBytes() to read in 1024 bytes. :)

Hmm... I'm not sure if this is exactly what i'm looking for. Basically I want to chop up one big file into small chunks, and then send each chunk over the network via winsock. The chunks are then re-assemballed at the other end... I know this is possible - but how! :confused:

Thanks a lot for your help though... But anyone got an idea?

Try ReadChars()
that'll read in some number of characters from the file into a character array... then you can probably pass this array through the Winsock (you can use Sockets namespace as well).
