Covert to Binary Object

[Ramo83]

Hello,
I have files objects of type: FileInfo, and I need to change them to a Binary Object format so I can put them in a database...
How can that be done please?
Thank you

Are you trying to put the contents of the file into the database, or the FileInfo object?

Yes I'm trying to put the content of the file in the database. So I have to change the Fileinfo to a Binary Object (Sql Data type)...
Thanx for the help

A FileInfo is just information about a file (size, date created, etc).

In order to read the contents of the file, you'll need to use one of the Stream objects, followed by one of the Reader objects.

FileStream -- supports random access to a file.
BinaryReader -- Read binary information from a stream.
TextReader -- Read strings from a stream.

If you have the MSDN documentation installed on your machine, paste this link into the navigation textbox:
