        static void ReadBinaryFile()
        {
            using (BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(File.Open("e:\\binaryfile.dat", FileMode.Open)))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Double Value : " + reader.ReadDouble());
                Console.WriteLine("String Value : " + reader.ReadString());
                Console.WriteLine("Boolean Value : " + reader.ReadBoolean());
