Detect Structured Storage Format

[=?Utf-8?B?YWppdA==?=]

I am writing an application in C# I have file converted to stream.

I need to find out the type of office file (prior to office 2007)

I need to do this using streams I know hoe to do this using byte[].

Thanks

Would a MemoryStream class work?

Memeory Stream is a byte array internally right if I have a large file it
will still be an isuue.

Thanks

Ok -- lets back up. What exactly do you need to do?

It sounded like you've got a technique for detecting a file type by
looking at a byte[], but now that you've got a Stream instead of a File,
you're stuck?
