My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes Method

Writes data to a binary file.

' Usage
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes(file ,data ,append)
' Declaration
Public Sub WriteAllBytes( _
   ByVal file As String, _
   ByVal data As Byte(), _
   ByVal append As Boolean _
)

Parameters

  • file
    String. Path and name of the file to be written to. Required.

  • data
    Byte. Data to be written to the file. Required.

  • append
    Boolean. Whether to append or overwrite data. Default is False. Required.

Exceptions

The following conditions may create an exception:

Remarks

If the append parameter is True, it appends the data to the file; otherwise data in the file is overwritten.

If the specified path, excluding the file name, is not valid, a DirectoryNotFoundException exception will be thrown. If the path is valid but the file does not exist, the file is created.

Note

The WriteAllBytes method opens a file, writes to it, and then closes it. Code that uses the WriteAllBytes method is simpler than code that uses a BinaryWriter object. However, if you are adding data to a file using a loop, a BinaryWriter object can provide better performance because you only have to open and close the file once.
