Hello all,

Greetings!

I have just found this site, as i was searching for how to read any file in binary mode, like when you open a word file in hex editor it will show the "D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1" as the first eight bytes.

I need to be able to open any file using a browse for file button,
and when the file's signature in hex is read, it needs to be checked with that of a database containing the signature's which are already computed with all the file types extension, so it will just do a lookup and tell which file it is exactly.

I am doing this as my project, and I am a newbie.

This is required in scenario's where an individual renames the file extension.

Can anyone please help.

I am planning to use VB.NET and MS-SQL

Thanks in advance
