You can write a simple framework to deal with binary streams and some simple algorithms. Then you can write scripts that will take your binary and check various things. For example: Do some … Read more
You could encode the binary data using base64 and put it into a Base64 element; the below article is a pretty good one on the subject. Handling Binary Data in XML Documents
I’ve compared performance (space and time) for a number of ways to store numpy arrays. Few of them support multiple arrays per file, but perhaps it’s useful anyway. Npy and binary files are both really fast and small for dense data. If the data is sparse or very structured, you might want to use npz … Read more
The answer by phpguy is correct but I think there is a lot of confusion in the additional details there. The basic answer is in a BLOB data type / attribute domain. BLOB is short for Binary Large Object and that column data type is specific for handling binary data. See the relevant manual page … Read more
Simply replace the whole thing with: return File.ReadAllBytes(fileName); However, if you are concerned about the memory consumption, you should not read the whole file into memory all at once at all. You should do that in chunks.
