I'm trying to write a quick cgi app in c#. I need to get to the stdout stream and write some binary data. The only thing I can find to do this is Console.Write, which takes text. I've also tried
Process.GetCurrentProcess().StandardOutput.BaseStream.Write
which doesn't work either. Is this even possible?
Wow, it's a bummer this question wasn't answered in 5 years. Viewed 1800 times.
OpenStandardOutput() has existed since .Net 4.0
using (Stream myOutStream = Console.OpenStandardOutput())
{
myOutStream.Write(buf, 0, buf.Length);
}
await using Stream stdout = Console.OpenStandardOutput(); await stdout.WriteAsync( buf ); Something like the following (very quick example written in notepad):
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
[Serializable]
public class MyObject {
public int n1 = 0;
public int n2 = 0;
public String str = null;
}
public class Example
{
public static void Main()
{
MyObject obj = new MyObject();
obj.n1 = 1;
obj.n2 = 24;
obj.str = "Some String";
BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(Console.OpenStandardOutput());
sw.AutoFlush = true;
Console.SetOut(sw);
formatter.Serialize(sw.BaseStream, obj);
}
}
readthe output of the application, not usable for your case.
