read binary file into byte[]
What is the most efficient technique to read a binary file ( such as a .dll or .exe ) into a byte[] ? Are there advantages to using a BinaryReader ? Thanks. John Grandy wrote: > What is the most efficient technique to read a binary file ( such as a .dll > or .exe ) into a byte[] ? > > Are there advantages to using a BinaryReader ? BinaryReader is mainly useful for when you are dealing with specific data types _other_ than an array of bytes. As for "the most efficient technique" for reading a binary file, it all depends. But, depending on ...

How do I stop styles from changing when I save and reopen the file
I frequently use styles to format my documents. However, sometimes I have noticed that when I save a document, close it and then open it later, the style formats have changed. This most often seems to happen on Headers - for example when I save the file there will be outline numbering applied to Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. but when I open it next time the numbering is gone or the font on the numbering has changed. I've also had my paragraph spacing change - such as I changed a style to only have 4pt after a paragraph and when I reopen the document (or someone else opens it)...

Files opening at start-up
I just got a new computer and was setting up defaults in Excel, and I mistakenly entered 'My Documents' in the Tools/Options/General field for "At startup, open all files in." So when I start Excel it tries to open EVERY file in My Domuments and I have to use Task Manager to kill it. I opened in Safe Mode to change that option, but that doesn't seem to work. (Ie, when I open Excel again in regular mode it goes back to opening every file.) Is there another way to fix this? THanks!

Office 2000 (Delay to open Files)
Greetings, I'm having a challenge on a particular computer opening any office documents. If we double click the file to open it (network or local source) it shows the hour glass for what feels like hours - it may eventually open, sometime we give up. Now, if we open the application first (i.e.: Excel) then go to File-> Open and select any file it opens immediately. I've had this problem before, the only solution I could find at the time was wipe the machine and start over. I tried a repair or re-installation of Office, no change.

Retrieve File Names in Directories
Can anyone tell me how or if it is possible to start at a particular directory and drill down to all subdirectories and get the names of files and the associated paths of each? I was thinking you can do this with the File System Object within Excel VBA?? If anyone could point me to good web site that covers this, it would be appreciated. I basically want to start at one directory and follow all paths until no more directories. So drill both down and accross. Hopefully I am explaining correctly.

large doc files were ok for word 200 hange up with 2003
I previously had no problem handeling large word file of 4-6megs using word 2000, with word 2003 word tends to hang up or takes a long time to load the file up to 10 minutes.. I have to do this frequently and it is really slowing things down. iis there a fix for this?? I think it fair to say that Word 2003 is more stable than Word 2000 and that 4 - 6 mb is a relatively small file and well within the capabilities of either version. My guess is that the document is looking for its template and that template is not available in the original location. Or it (or its template) could ...

Which version necessary to open .xls file?

M06 file locations
Investigating another user's discovery that the registry has the wrong file locations recorded, I looked into my own. Under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Money\15.0 I find references to Jet files being located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2006\MNYCoreFiles. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2006 exists but C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money 2006\MNYCoreFiles does not. I installed this in parallel to M04, wanting to test without being able to revert easily. Perhaps the installation routines don't handle that very well. Perhaps related, perhaps not: trying to sync to MSN Money fai...
