Flush Method

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

When overridden in a derived class, clears all buffers for this stream and causes any buffered data to be written to the underlying device.

Namespace:  System.IO
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride Sub Flush
public abstract void Flush()
public:
virtual void Flush() abstract
abstract Flush : unit -> unit 
public abstract function Flush()

Remarks

Override Flush on streams that implement a buffer. Use this method to move any information from an underlying buffer to its destination, clear the buffer, or both. Depending upon the state of the object, you might have to modify the current position within the stream (for example, if the underlying stream supports seeking). For additional information see CanSeek.
