Question

I am developing a small application which lists the contents from files of a given format. The file format acts as a template for describing binary data (think binary xml). This allows the clients that produces these files to store data in any way they want, so the interpretion of all types contained are not known. What I would like to do is to browse through these types, interpret the common types, and expose a sort of memory editor for unknown types.

The basic rundown is that I have a byte buffer which I am going to manipulate through a user interface.

I am looking for some user controls for .net which hopefully has done this already. If not, I suppose I’ll have to write my own. Please send me links to existing assemblies

Answer 1

This project claims to have a reusable hex editor component: Be.HexEditor – that would probably be the best way to edit random binary data.
