Hi,

I'm trying to populate a structure that contain sbyte[] (signed byte array)
with an instance of BinaryReader class, my problem is that I don't see
ReadSbytes(int count) method however there is a similar method for byte[]
(unsigned byte array).

So my question are:
-Is there any valid reason for the absence of the ReadSBytes method?
-What way shoud I use to populate my signed byte array easily?

Much thanks for your support

Gauthier

Anyway, I've just added theses members to a custom binaryreader class:

public sbyte[] ReadSBytes(int count)
{
return GetSBytesFromBytes(base.ReadBytes(count));
}
static sbyte[] GetSBytesFromBytes(byte[] bytes)
{
sbyte[] sbytes = new sbyte[bytes.Length];
for(int i = 0; i < sbytes.Length; i++)
{
sbytes[i] = (sbyte) bytes[i];
}
return sbytes;
}

is there a better way to achieve this?

Thanks

Gauthier

I'd use Buffer.BlockCopy to copy the data from one array to the other.
