Blockwrite equivalent

Hi,

Does anyone know what Blockwrite() is doing?  I need to rewrite this 
function in C# .NET.  Please help.

Thanks!

Remember that programs usually use ReWrite(,) 
Reset(,), Seek(), FileSize(), EOF(), and CloseFile() 
together with BlockWrite(,,) and BlockRead(,,),
so you might want to consider the equivalent of each

I only have the german description from TP Help. I hope its useful anyway.


  ------------
   BlockWrite     Prozedur
  ------------
Schreibt einen oder mehrere Records aus einer
Puffervariablen. f steht für eine untypisierte
Datei, buf für die Puffervariable. Count gibt
die Anzahl der zu schreibenden Records an, der
optionale Parameter result liefert die Anzahl
der tatsächlich geschriebenen Records zurück.
(count <> result  --> Diskette voll). Maximal
können mit einem Aufruf von BlockWrite 64
KByte Daten geschrieben werden.

Syntax:
   BlockWrite(var f: file; var buf; count: Word
              var result: Word])

   { Example for BlockRead and BlockWrite }

   program CopyFile;
   { Simple copy program w/NO error checking }
   var
     FromF, ToF: file;
     NumRead, NumWritten: Word;
     buf: array[1..2048] of Char;
   begin
     { Open input file }

     Assign(FromF, ParamStr(1));
     { Record size = 1 }
     Reset(FromF, 1);
     { Open output file }
     Assign(ToF, ParamStr(2));
     { Record size = 1 }
     Rewrite(ToF, 1);
     WriteLn('Copying ', FileSize(FromF),
             ' bytes...');
     repeat
       BlockRead(FromF,buf,
                 SizeOf(buf),NumRead);
       BlockWrite(ToF,buf,NumRead,NumWritten);
     until (NumRead = 0) or
           (NumWritten <> NumRead);
     Close(FromF);
     Close(ToF);

Hello,

When porting an old TP application to Delphi, I re-wrote all logic by using 
TFileStream instead. (I replaced BlockWrite with TFileStream's Write 
method.)
So in .NET, I guess you can use FileStream.

Erik,

Is it possible to send me your Delphi code?  It would be easier to translate 
from Delphi to C#.

Thanks!
