finding the binary code of a .wav file

Question

hi
I'm working on a project where i have a few .wav files and i need to compare their context.in order to do that, i thought i should find the binary code for each of the .wav files and compare the codes to each other,but i don't know how to find the binary code...
do you know how to do that?
tnx in advance!

Hmmm... not sure what you mean by comparing context. Perhaps you mean comparing content?

There's two ways:

1.  Use WinDiff.
2.  Use File.ReadAllBytes to get the bytes of each file, then loop through them to make sure they're the same.

public static bool FilesAreEqual(string filename1, string filename2)
{
    byte[] firstFile = File.ReadAllBytes(filename1);
    byte[] secondFile = File.ReadAllBytes(filename2);

    // if the lengths don't match, the contents don't match.
    if (firstFile.Length != secondFile.Length)
        return false;

    for (int i = 0; i < firstFile.Length; i++)
        if (firstFile[i] != secondFile[i])
            return false;
 
    return true;
}
