C# – Binary reader in Big Endian?

by

I’m not usually one to answer my own questions, but I’ve accomplished exactly what I wanted with some simple code:

class BinaryReader2 : BinaryReader { 
    public BinaryReader2(System.IO.Stream stream)  : base(stream) { }

    public override int ReadInt32()
    {
        var data = base.ReadBytes(4);
        Array.Reverse(data);
        return BitConverter.ToInt32(data, 0);
    }

    public Int16 ReadInt16()
    {
        var data = base.ReadBytes(2);
        Array.Reverse(data);
        return BitConverter.ToInt16(data, 0);
    }

    public Int64 ReadInt64()
    {
        var data = base.ReadBytes(8);
        Array.Reverse(data);
        return BitConverter.ToInt64(data, 0);
    }

    public UInt32 ReadUInt32()
    {
        var data = base.ReadBytes(4);
        Array.Reverse(data);
        return BitConverter.ToUInt32(data, 0);
    }

}

I knew that’s what I wanted, but I didn’t know how to write it. I found this page and it helped: http://www.codekeep.net/snippets/870c4ab3-419b-4dd2-a950-6d45beaf1295.aspx
