Name
BinaryWriter
Synopsis
This class complements BinaryReader
.
To write binary data, simply call
Write()
and pass data of
the desired type; the method is overloaded for all “primitive types”
(but not the generic System.Object
type—that is the
subject of the System.Runtime.Serialization
namespaces). Be aware, however, that because BinaryWriter is not the
actual destination of the data (the wrapped Stream
object is) the data may be cached in a buffer somewhere between the
BinaryWriter
and the sink. To ensure data is completely
written, call the Flush()
method. When working with a
BinaryWriter
in a sensitive code area, consider placing
it in a using
block to ensure cleanup (in this case, release of the
Stream
it wraps after flushing the data).
