Chapter 6 The Binary Access Method Objectives The Binary Access Method Encryption Serialization The Direct Access Method Lab 6: The Binary Access Method Suggested Home Assignments The Binary Access Method Reads and writes the data in a file as bytes that can be accessed at any offset (position in the file) and at any length. Enables encryption and compression by virtue of allowing the program to access the data one byte at a time and in any sequence. Provides a method for making objects persistent. Allows creating and handling single user records as though through a database but without resorting to actually implementing one. Binary Access Classes The FileStream class. Typical sequence of code Open the file as a FileStream object, Read and/or write data through the methods of the FileStream object, Release the connection of the object to the file with the Close method. What can be done with the file depends on the constructor parameters. File Stream Parameters FileStream constructor parameters File path File Mode File Access Lock Mechanism File Mode Values (1) IO.FileMode.Append Opens an existing file and appends the new data to its end. If the file does not exist, it will be created. IO.FileMode.Create Creates a new file. If the file exists, it is overwritten. IO.FileMode.CreateNew Creates a new file. But if the file already exists, an IOException exception is thrown. IO.FileMode.Open Opens an existing file. If the file does not exist, an IOException exception is thrown. File Mode Values (2) IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate Opens an existing file. If the file does not exist, it is created. IO.FileMode.Truncate Opens an existing file but deletes its data. File Access Values IO.FileAccess.Read Allows only reading the data. IO.FileAccess.ReadWrite Allows reading and writing data (default). IO.FileAccess.Write Allows only writing data. Locking Values IO.FileShare.None Places a lock on the file. No other application can access to
