Hey

This is my problem:

I want to be able to read a file from start to end without passing the end to the underlying buffer.

An output from one class:

 *************************
private string pccmd; //command for mciSendString
private string tmp; //this holds a temporary string for filestream
private bool open; //checks if file is open
*************************

public bool PlayFile()
{
int pos = 0;
System.IO.FileStream mp3fs = new System.IO.FileStream(tmp, System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read);
System.IO.BinaryReader readmp3 = new System.IO.BinaryReader(mp3fs, Encoding.Default);
mp3fs.Position = pos;


try
{
 if (open)
 {
   pccmd = "play mediaFile";
   mciSendString(pccmd, null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);

/* i want to be able to read from start to EOF. Should i use read() instead and define the bytebuffer to read? Peekchar wouldnt be best method i presume to read because it returns every char availible and perhaps something */

   do
   {
     readmp3.ReadBytes(tmp.Length);
     pos++;
   } while (readmp3.PeekChar() > -1);
  }

   //not sure if pos goes thru as it should for EOF.

   if (pos == tmp.Length)
   {
     CloseFile();
   }
  return true;
 }
} catch(System.IO.IOException ioex) {
   System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ioex.Message) ;
}
   return false;
}

If someone could give me an answer, it would be much appriciated.

Best regards
