Examples

The following example demonstrates the two ways to create a BinaryReader object using the NewBinaryReader constructor method.

Public Sub Main()
    Dim Source As FileStream
    Dim Reader As BinaryReader
    
    Set Source = File.OpenFile("MyFile.txt", FileMode.OpenExisting)
    
    ' method one
    Set Reader = NewBinaryReader(Source)
    
    ' method two
    Set Reader = Cor.NewBinaryReader(Source)
    
End Sub
