Question

I’m working on a software i need some help.

I have a client and server. Server will serialize a text file and send it to the client.

My current progress: Client receiving binary array but can’t write it to disc as original text file.

private void ListenPort()
{
    TcpListener _TcpListener= new _TcpListener(7381);
    byte[] received_binary= new byte[1024];

    _TcpListener.Start();
    while (true) 
    { 
        Socket Soket = _TcpListener.AcceptSocket();
        Soket.Receive(received_binary, received_binary.Length, 0);
    }
}

Do you need to deserialize it to string? Here is a function I wrote a while ago which may help…

 public static T BinaryDeserializeObject<T>(byte[] serializedType)
    {
        if (serializedType == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("serializedType");

        if (serializedType.Length.Equals(0))
            throw new ArgumentException("byte array cannot be empty"));

        T deserializedObject;

        using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(serializedType))
        {
            BinaryFormatter deserializer = new BinaryFormatter();
            deserializedObject = (T)deserializer.Deserialize(memoryStream);
        }

        return deserializedObject;
    }
