Method

BinaryStream.ReadInt64() As Int64

New in 2005r5

Supported for all project types and targets.

Reads an eight-byte value from the stream and returns it as an Int64.

Notes

If you read over the end of the stream you get zero returned from this method. No error and no exception. If you want to test for this error, you can check the EndOfFile, BytePosition, and Length properties.

Sample Code

Var i As Int64
Var readFile As FolderItem = GetOpenFolderItem("text/plain")
If readFile <> Nil Then
Var readStream As BinaryStream = BinaryStream.Open(readFile, False)
i = readStream.ReadInt64
End If
