Write a set of bytes into a ‘so-called’ binary file. The point is that we use BinaryWriter here and we have a byte array as input.

/*
  Write a binary file

  <param name="filePath">Full path of file to be written</param>
  Teturn True, if success
*/

public bool WriteBinaryFile(string filePath, byte[] contents)
{
        bool okok = true;

        try
        {
                using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.CreateNew))
                {
                    using (BinaryWriter w = new BinaryWriter(fs))
                    {
                        w.Write(contents);
                    }
                }
        }
        catch (IOException e)
        {
                okok = false;
        }

        return okok;
}
