It can possibly be a too big array, do you know? What's the problem though? Read on reading the files. System.IO.

Hi,
Use this

FileStream fs = new FileStream(Filepath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

                        fileLen = Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length); 
                        Data = new byte[fileLen];
                        fs.Read(Data, 0, fileLen);
                        fs.Close();

data contains bytes of data.
