Thanks guys. I'll have a look but my target is the NETMF and I'm not sure how much space I will have spare after the other code is developed.
Currently I'm reading up on BinaryReaders and putting a byte array into a structure. If my structure is all numerics (ints) or char[] then there should not be too much issue. It's strings that seem to be the sticking points with structures due to the overhead's or lengths and padding.. Again thanks for all of your input.
