How to create a wave bank file

Question

Hello,

I'm working on a project to create a wave bank file.

I have been using a hex editor to create them ,

but it's very time consuming.

I have tried using StreamWriter, but to no avail.

I think I can use BinaryWriter, but I need to

have it search for the word Riff cause it's the

word at the beginning of every pcm .wav file.

Here is a sample binary of a 3 wav bank file:

RIFF,...WAVEfmt { binary

code }

RIFF,...WAVEfmt { binary

code }

RIFF,...WAVEfmt { binary

code }

Any help would be great

I open a wave bank file, reading the xml file connected with the bank file

Sample XML

Here is the code I use to read the xml

if (this.openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.OK)
            {
                return;
            }
            string fileName = this.openFileDialog1.FileName;
            this.listView1.Items.Clear();
            Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(fileName));
            FileStream fileStream = null;
            try
            {
                fileStream = File.Open(fileName, FileMode.Open);
                XmlTextReader xmlTextReader = new XmlTextReader(fileStream);
                while (xmlTextReader.Read())
                {
                    if (xmlTextReader.Name == "wave" && xmlTextReader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
                    {
                        Hashtable hashtable = new Hashtable();
                        _ = xmlTextReader.Name;
                        if (xmlTextReader.HasAttributes)
                        {
                            for (int i = 0; i < xmlTextReader.AttributeCount; ++i)
                            {
                                xmlTextReader.MoveToAttribute(i);
                                hashtable.Add(xmlTextReader.Name, xmlTextReader.Value);
                            }
                        }
                        this.listView1.Items.Add(new ListViewItem()
                        {
                            Text = hashtable["file"].ToString(),
                            SubItems = { hashtable["size"].ToString(), hashtable["bank"].ToString(), hashtable["offset"].ToString() },
                            Tag = hashtable
                        });
                    }
                }
            }
            finally
            {
                fileStream?.Close();
            }

Now I want to save the *,bank file
