You'll need to convert the struct to a byte array and then use BinaryWriter to send it and BinaryReader to read it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.binarywriter.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.binaryreader.aspx You can convert the struct to a byte array and back again using methods in the System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal class. There's some example code in this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3278827/how-to-convert-structure-to-byte-array-in-c Although I don't think it says so in there I'd also decorate your struct with the following attribute: [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
