Question

What would be an example of byte flipping in VB.NET?

16 bit unsigned short

Before the flip:

You could write as you go, something like:

Dim file = dialog.FileName

Using output = New BinaryWriter(New FileStream( _
                                  file, _
                                  FileMode.Append, _
                                  FileAccess.Write, _
                                  FileShare.Read))

    Using input = New BinaryReader(New FileStream( _
                                     file, _
                                     FileMode.Open, _
                                     FileAccess.Read, _
                                     FileShare.ReadWrite))
        Dim bufferLength = 2
        While bufferLength = 2
            Dim buffer = input.ReadBytes(2)
            bufferLength = buffer.Length
            If bufferLength = 2 Then
                output.Write(buffer(1))
                output.Write(buffer(0))
            Else If bufferLength = 1 Then
                output.Write(buffer(0))
            End If
        End While
    End Using
End Using
