Stream as return function

AngKar · 05-24-2006, 12:30 PM

Hi,

Could anyone please let me know if there are any functions that reads a .txt file and returns a stream?

FileStream

Use msdn for this sort of thing next time.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ClassTopic.asp

You can pass this FileStream to either StreamWriter or StreamReader.. then you dont have to deal with an array of bytes to read and write.

But I need a Stream as return type. The external fn I'm using is not working when I pass the FileStream object

I need to pass a Stream object. Can I do that?

More specifically, I need to put the text into a stream without creating a file.
Can I do that in C#?

MemoryStream

Once again, use MSDN.
