Hello to everyone
there is a small question: how can I open a file as a sequence of hex data? The file may be of any extension: pic, jpeg, mp4 and so on. Such a sequence is needed to perform data encryption.
Thank you in advance

Solution 1

Try:

C#

byte[] data = File.ReadAllBytes(@"D:\Temp\MyFile.ext");

Provided your file is under 2GB, it'll load the whole thing.
