How do I use FileOpen (VB.NET) in C#? How do I convert this code?

Question

So, I'm working on converting this code from VB.NET to C#:

FileOpen(1, Application.StartupPath & "\Stub.exe", _
    OpenMode.Binary, OpenAccess.Read, OpenShare.Default)

I've used a series of online converters, and they don't really work for me.

How do I do it? I'm trying to understand VB.NET source code so I can use it in.

what is this code suppose to do. i.e run Stub.exe application or open a file stream from the Stub.exe file — Jalal Said

Use the following code.

BinaryReader br =
    new BinaryReader(
        new FileStream(Application.StartupPath + "/stub.exe",
        FileMode.Open,
        FileAccess.Read,
        FileShare.Read));

Note BinaryReader implements IDisposable and should be wrapped in a using statement.

The best solution is to redevelop the code using a BinaryReader.

If there's a lot of code and you are pressed for time, you could import Microsoft.VisualBasic into your C# project and then use Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileOpen.

Look at the documentation. There are C# examples provided.

That's System.IO.File.Open, not Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileOpen which is provided for backward compatibility with VB6 code.
