Check for end of file in FileStream while reading data

[StellaIndigo]

Hi

I need to read blocks of a binary data file with Visual Studio 2005.

I can't seem to find a way of checking for Eof (End of file)
looping around a FileStream ReadBytes operation. I can't find Eof values in the FileStream class and I tried to catch the possible error during ReadBytes but no error is thrown.

Dim arrDataBlock(128) As Byte
Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream("c:\temp\file.dat", FileMode.OpenOrCreate)
Dim rs As System.IO.BinaryReader = New System.IO.BinaryReader(fs)

{ LOOP START here to read blocks until Eof }

arrDataBlock = rs.ReadBytes(128)
... my code to process the data block

{ LOOP ENDS }
fs.Close()


Can anyone help?

Peek method.

"The current position of the StreamReader object is not changed by Peek. The returned value is -1 if no more characters are currently available."
