Examples

The following code example shows how to read and write Double data to memory by using the BinaryReader and BinaryWriter classes on top of the MemoryStream class.

Imports System.IO

Public Class Example

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

      Dim i As Integer
      Const upperBound As Integer = 1000

      ' Create random data to write to the stream.
      Dim dataArray(upperBound) As Double
      Dim randomGenerator As New Random()
      For i = 0 To upperBound
         dataArray(i) = 100.1 * randomGenerator.NextDouble()
      Next i

      Dim binWriter As New BinaryWriter(New MemoryStream())
      Try

         ' Write data to the stream.
