C# memorystream or any streams. open a file out of the stream

19 Aug 2012 by Christian Graus

You can't. It's in a stream, you can't do anything with it, apart from write it somewhere, or store it for your use. Windows can't open a program that is not on the hard drive, when it's in that pure binary form. You're just writing code at random, trying to do something impossible.

27 Sep 2010 by Henry Minute

Choosing a tagging method for files in a WPF application

Ultimate goal:My ultimate goal is to organise a humongous mess of files in an application. A bit like in photography there are Standard properties (TAGs?) that all files could have (e.g. Camera, Aperture, Date, etc.) and also categories (tags) that users fancy (e.g. Brother, Sunset, Nature)....
