The following code example demonstrates how to store and retrieve application settings in a file.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

class ConsoleApplication
{
    const string fileName = "AppSettings.dat";

    static void Main()
    {
        WriteDefaultValues();
        DisplayValues();
    }

    public static void WriteDefaultValues()
    {
        using (var stream = File.Open(fileName, FileMode.Create))
        {
            using (var writer = new BinaryWriter(stream, Encoding.UTF8, false))
            {
                writer.Write(1.250F);

Remarks

The BinaryWriter class provides methods that simplify writing primitive data types to a stream. For example, you can use the Write method to write a Boolean value to the stream as a one-byte value. The class includes write methods that support different data types.

When you create a new instance of the BinaryWriter class, you provide the stream to write to, and optionally specify the type of encoding and whether to leave the stream open after disposing the BinaryWriter object. If you do not specify an encoding type, UTF-8 is used.

Important

This type implements the IDisposable interface. When you have finished using the type, you should dispose of it either directly or indirectly. To dispose of the type directly, call its Dispose method in a try/catch block. To dispose of it indirectly, use a language construct such as using (in C#) or Using (in Visual Basic). For more information, see the "Using an Object that Implements IDisposable" section in the IDisposable interface topic.

A derived class can override the methods of this class to give unique character encodings.

Constructors

BinaryWriter()

Initializes a new instance of the BinaryWriter class that writes to a stream.

BinaryWriter(Stream, Encoding, Boolean)

Initializes a new instance of the BinaryWriter class based on the specified stream and character encoding, and optionally leaves the stream open.

BinaryWriter(Stream, Encoding)

Initializes a new instance of the BinaryWriter class based on the specified stream and character encoding.

BinaryWriter(Stream)

Initializes a new instance of the BinaryWriter class based on the specified stream and using UTF-8 encoding.

Fields
