title: reading bytes in a file in vb.net
body: <p>After getting the file name I create a new filestream and load all the bytes from the FileStream into a byte array, now I need to get certain bytes and store them in fields like the second 4 bytes are the time the file was created. When storing these in the variables should I store them as bytes or as string/integers/etc.</p>
  
  <p>Or have I done it completely wrong?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:Should I be doing this way instead of a filestream?</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim data() as Byte = File.ReadAllBytes(path1)
  </code></pre>
