Your writing and reading where ok, as long as you read and wrote the same way. It would just mean that if some one else was going to read or write to the file, you would have to have documented the actual size of the record.

Whoops! getFileSize()
After calling end = tempFile->tellg();, you need to call tempFile->seekg(0, ios::beg);. If you do not, then you will be trying to read from the end of the file. That is tellg will return -1.

You have the right idea for a general purpose function for getting the size, but I would probably do something like this:
long getFileSize(fstream * tempFile)
{
    long begin, end;
    begin = tempFile->tellg(); // save current position
    tempFile->seekg (0, ios::end);
    end = tempFile->tellg(); // get eof position
    tempFile->seekg (begin); // restore saved position
    return end;
}

Every thing is relative...
