In memory file compare

Question

Hello,
I have a file stored in my app as a resource: My.Resources.blah.blah
Need to compare it against a file on disk without writing it to disk (WriteAllBytes) in memory to check if both files are identical or difference (like FC.exe)
In short: 1st file is in resources, 2nd file on disk, compare them without saving the 1st file.
Any built-in method in .NET or if not what's the suggestion?
Thanks all :)

Answer 1

You can compare Bytes Arrays of the 2 files
Something like :

        Dim byteFileResources As Byte() = My.Resources.YourFile  
        Dim sFile = "E:\YourFile.exe"  
        Dim byteFile As Byte() = File.ReadAllBytes(sFile)  
        Dim bRet = StructuralComparisons.StructuralEqualityComparer.Equals(byteFileResources, byteFile)
