.NET classes extending binary reading and writing functionality.
When parsing or storing data in binary file formats, the functionality offered by the default .NET BinaryReader and BinaryWriter classes is often not sufficient. It totally lacks support for a different byte order than the one of the system and specific string or date formats (most prominently, 0-terminated strings instead of the default Int32 prefixed .NET strings).
Further, navigating in binary files is slightly tedious when it becomes required to skip to another chunk in the file and then navigate back. Also, aligning to specific block sizes might be a common task.
This NuGet package adds all this functionality by offering two new .NET 4.5 classes, BinaryDataReader and BinaryDataWriter, which extend the aforementioned .NET reader and writer, usable in a similar way so that they are easy to implement into existing projects - in fact, they can be used directly without requiring any changes to existing code.
The usage is described in detail on the wiki.
