The concept of "records" does not exist in a binary file, just bytes.
So to add data to the end of the file simply open it for Append. To
insert bytes somewhere in the middle is harder and probably would
require a temporary file.

Look at the System.IO classes. There is a binary writer class that will
help you. Just make sure when you open the stream you set it for append.
