there is only article "Inside C#, Second Edition: File I/O with Streams - Part 1" and other parts are not there. Gives me error "Article not found"

The quintessential stream copying method:

public void Copy(Stream source, Stream target) {
byte[] buffer = new byte[0x10000];
int bytes;
try {
while ((bytes = source.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0) {
target.Write(buffer, 0, bytes);
}
}
finally {
target.Flush();
// Or target.Close(); if you're done here already.
}
}

If you use a FileStream instance as "target", you'll get what you want.

Cheers,
