Writing Binary to a Stream

The Write overloaded method is used to write primitive data types to a stream. The Write method can write a Boolean, Byte, Char, Decimal, Double, and Integer data types.

string authorName = "Mahesh Chand";
int age = 30;

bool mvp = true;
double price = 54.99;

using (BinaryWriter binWriter =
    new BinaryWriter(File.Open(fileName, FileMode.Create)))
{
    // Write string 
    binWriter.Write(authorName);
    // Write string 
    // Write integer
    binWriter.Write(age);
    binWriter.Write(bookTitle);
    // Write boolean
    binWriter.Write(mvp);
    // Write double 
    binWriter.Write(price);
}
