Question

I am writing a program to do some image processing. I am working with raw binary files and I need to write the data from the raw file to a 16 bit buffer. I have almost got it but I am not quite sure how to make the conversion. Here is my code thus far:

        Int16[] pixelBuffer;
        String inFile;
        String outFile;        

        /// Constructor. Allocates space for 3032x2016 16-bit values.
        /// <param name="inputFile">Name of the binary input file to be read.</param>
        /// <param name="outputFile">Name of the binary output file to be written.</param>
        public ColorCorrector(String inputFile, String outputFile)
        {
        this.inFile = inputFile;
        this.outFile = outputFile;
        this.pixelBuffer = new Int16[6112512];
        //I need to open the binary file 'inputFile' and store 16-bit values in pixelBuffer.

    }

Any help would be appreciated!

using (var inputStream = File.Open(inputFile))      
using (var reader = new BinaryReader(inputStream))      
{           
    int index = 0;
    while (inputStream.Position < inputStream.Length)
        pixelBuffer[index++] = reader.ReadInt16();      
}
