Does CFile::Read take a binary file?

Yes. CFile is designed toward binary file access. It's basically a wrapper for the Windows CreateFile()/ReadFile()/WriteFile()/SetFilePointer()/ CloseHandle()/etc. APIs. Mark

CFile::Read("test.bin",CFile::modeRead) is the mode to read a binary file? or different flag? Thanks

From the docs: "One access permission and one share option are required"... something like CFile file(_T("pathname"), CFile::modeRead | CFile::shareDenyNone); Mark
