C# programming question

[dhess31]

I'm using the "filestream" member "seek" to get to a certain place in a binary file I've opened. The address as I read it is a 64 bit signed integer, but I need it to be unsigned. If I change the variable declaration to Uint64 instead of Int64, the seek method gives me an error that it can't convert long to ulong.

Is there a way around this? Can I typecast in C# like in C++?

perhaps it will be useful?

Hi Ark,

I don't have a membership to that site. I searched for about an hour for a solution though :) I'll keep at it.

If you scroll down there's user comments that usually resolve the issue, and are free. At least they helped me a lot every time some search led me to that website.

Ah! I did not know that (in fact I came across that same link when I did my initial search).

Thanks guys.
