here is the code which i wrote for writing to binary file: using System; using System.IO; namespace BinaryWrite { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { BinaryWriter bw; int age = 23; string name = Mike Thomson ; double salary = 34000.00; try { FileStream fs = new FileStream ( c:\btest  FileMode .Append); bw = new BinaryWriter (fs); } catch ( IOException e) { Console .WriteLine(e.Message + 
 There was some problem in opening the file ); return ; } try { Console .WriteLine( Writing data in binary format to file ); bw.Write(age); bw.Write(name); bw.Write(salary); } catch ( IOException e) { Console .WriteLine(e.Message + 
 Error in writing to file ); } finally { Console .WriteLine( Data written to the file in binary format ); Console .ReadLine(); bw.Close(); } } } } here is the code which i wrote for reading from a binary file: using System; using System.IO; namespace BinaryRead { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { BinaryReader br; int age; string name; double salary; try { FileStream fs = new FileStream ( c:\btest  FileMode .Open); br = new BinaryReader (fs); br.BaseStream.Seek(0 SeekOrigin .Begin); } catch ( IOException e) { Console .WriteLine(e.Message + 
 There was some problem in opening the file ); return ; } try { age = br.ReadInt32(); Console .WriteLine( Age : {0}  age); name = br.ReadString(); Console .WriteLine( Name : {0}  name); salary = br.ReadDouble(); Console .WriteLine( Salary : ${0}  salary); Console .WriteLine( Data of in binary file ); Console .ReadLine(); } catch ( IOException e) { Console .WriteLine(e.Message + 
 Error in reading from the file ); } finally { Console .ReadLine(); br.Close(); } } } }

Hi there I think we need to review the code it could be the terminating condition that fails. Please throw some light on that. But maybe i'm wrong. Thanx in advance.
