5. Copying one stream to another FileStream _fStream = new FileStream(@"<FilePath>",FileMode.Open); MemoryStream _stream = new MemoryStream(); byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; int nrBytesWritten = _fStream.Read(buffer, 0, 1024); while (nrBytesWritten > 0) { _stream.Write(buffer, 0, nrBytesWritten);                    nrBytesWritten = _fStream.Read(buffer, 0, 1024);                }
