tellp, tellg, seekp, seekg

Hi I've used files long time ago in C++. I guess there is a certain new convention for using files in Visual C++ 2005, I am using the class fstream with binary files and I don't get the right file position when using tellp and tellg. Is there any new class which I should use or any other method ? I want still to work unmanaged not using the functions of system.dll which are used in .NET. Thanks, Clint

What do you get? Expect?

well, I write bytes into a file, I seek to the end of the file and call (tellp or tellg) after flushing the stream, and get 2 as an answer. But if I close the file, I see that the size of the file is 188. So I expect that the answer would be 188. Clint
