I am still looking for help if anyone is kind enough to help. Thank you in advance.

OriginalGriff thank very much for your assistance. Can someone in this forum please assist? I don't it is being understand that nothing i do works. I have been at this for weeks. I am totally going in circles and very confused about how the syntax work. It's not for a lack of trying. I have tried so many different ways to succeed and end up with nothing.

I am using a loop with the variable "Totbyte" from the original program to control the loop that will start and terminate the process after the exact amount of bytes as been entered. I also want to use "output.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);" to assemble back the file. I am having two(2) problems.

1. How to correct nullified variables that as been commented out.
2. How to enter the new byte with respect to "output.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);"

Please let me first say that I am here looking for help. Once i comment out "using (Stream input = File.OpenRead(filePath))", it nullifies other variables which are dependent to the line being commented out. So what I end up with, are other variables which also need to be commenting out and the problem snow ball in other problems. All I want to do is have someone show me how to redo the structure where i am still doing "output.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);", but taking the input manually one byte of a time (assume that i have them all the bytes written down on a piece of paper). I no longer want to do the "Read in from file" to get the bytes, but I want to build back the file from all the bytes entered. I am not a professional programmer like the people in this forum. I know my screen cannot be seen, but the entire code is here to be ran. It's only a few short line of code. I do not understand how to fix this problem. If you genuinely know how to fix this problem, please help me. Thank you.
