Read Method

Read<T>()

Reads a single value from the current stream and advances the current position within this stream by the number of bytes read.

Declaration

public T Read<T>() where T : struct

Public Function Read(Of T As Structure)() As T

Returns

Type	Description
T	The value that was read.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	The type of the value to be read from the stream.

Remarks

In order to provide faster read/write, this operation doesn't check stream bound. A client must carefully not read/write above the size of this datastream.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
NotSupportedException	This stream does not support reading.

Read(byte[], int, int)

Reads a sequence of bytes from the current stream and advances the position within the stream by the number of bytes read.

Declaration

public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)

Public Overrides Function Read(buffer As Byte(), offset As Integer, count As Integer) As Integer

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
byte[]	buffer	An array of values to be read from the stream.
int	offset	The zero-based byte offset in buffer at which to begin storing the data read from the current stream.
int	count	The maximum number of bytes to be read from the current stream.

Returns

Type	Description
int	The number of bytes read from the stream.

Overrides

Stream.Read(byte[], int, int)

Remarks

In order to provide faster read/write, this operation doesn't check stream bound. A client must carefully not read/write above the size of this datastream.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
NotSupportedException	This stream does not support reading.

Read(IntPtr, int, int)

Reads a sequence of bytes from the current stream and advances the current position within this stream by the number of bytes written.

Declaration

public void Read(IntPtr buffer, int offset, int count)

Public Sub Read(buffer As IntPtr, offset As Integer, count As Integer)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IntPtr	buffer	An array of bytes. This method copies `count` bytes from `buffer` to the current stream.
int	offset	The zero-based byte offset in `buffer` at which to begin copying bytes to the current stream.
int	count	The number of bytes to be written to the current stream.
