Most efficient way to append arrays in C#?

Question

I am pulling data out of an old-school ActiveX in the form of arrays of doubles. I don\'t initially know the final number of samples I will actually retrieve.

The solution looks like great fun, but it is possible to concatenate arrays in just two statements. When you're handling large byte arrays, I suppose it is inefficient to use a Linked List to contain each byte.

Here is a code sample for reading bytes from a stream and extending a byte array on the fly:

    byte[] buf = new byte[8192];
    byte[] result = new byte[0];
    int count = 0;
    do
    {
        count = resStream.Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);
        if (count != 0)
        {
            Array.Resize(ref result, result.Length + count);
            Array.Copy(buf, 0, result, result.Length - count, count);
        }
    }
    while (count > 0); // any more data to read?
    resStream.Close();
