Novice Question - Generic Class Writing and Reading Files

Question

Is there a class in C# to write or read binary information to/from files that would accept anything (a struct, for instance) as a parameter to write/read, regardless of its type ? BinaryWriter/BinaryReader just do not do what I need.

As you pointed FileStream requires a byte[] as a parameter for reading/writing. What I need is something more generic that would read/write whatever is passed as a parameter not just a byte[]. I am trying now through serialization I will see what I get. Thanx for your help.

I hope I get you right but if you want to write/read anything to/from file use a FileStream and a byte[]. Change anything you want to write/read to a byte array and do the read/write. Works fine for me I´m sometimes using this for writing classes to file however I didn´t try it with a struct... Hope that helps Greetings Gilthanas
