You were right! I'm guessing I could face the same issue with ReadInt32, ReadInt16, etc.?

That was the issue, and ReadBytes worked! I'd been playing around with ReadBytes, but could not figure out how to decode the byte array. I'd tried Base64 decoding with no joy.

It worked! Thanks to everyone who helped out!

Okay, I follow what you're saying. I'm just talking through this so I fully understand... Say my input file has a length of 1,500, and I want to create array to hold bytes 45 through 1,500, which is 1,456 bytes. The boundaries of the array in both C# and VB.Net would be 0 to 1,455, but since VB.Net arrays are sized relative to n + 1, that has to be accounted for. Blah, I knew I was missing something about C# vs VB.Net. Thanks!

So C# sharp IS different from VB. Is the difference that offsets in C# start with 1, while offsets in VB start with 0? I'd say that has to be the problem, because as I noted in my comment to MRB's excellent suggestion, my merged file is one byte longer than the sample I created with the original project.

I was able to compare two samples in HxD. It said the files match exactly, expect that my file is 1 byte bigger with a HEX '00' tacked onto the end of the file.

Excellent suggestion! I'll see if I can open the files in UltraEdit and do the Hex examination. Anything else, as you rightly point out, would be guess-work.
