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.
