Contents of DAT file are not in binary format

May 16th, 2008

Hi, Iam trying to put username and password in some dat file(ADMIN.DAT)from changeLogin page and getting/retreiving username and password from another page from ADMIN.DAT file....
My problem is username and password details are getting stored in dat file in readable text format NOT IN BINARY..

Writing into file part is
dname = My.DataFile("ADMIN.DAT")
fnum = FreeFile
Open dname For Binary Access Write As #fnum
Put #fnum, , uname
Put #fnum, , pwd

Close #fnum

Reading from file part is
dname = My.DataFile("ADMIN.DAT")
fnum = FreeFile
Open dname For Binary Access Read As #fnum

Get #fnum, , uname
Get #fnum, , pwd

Close #fnum

Any suggestions plz...
