IsolatedStorageFileStream.BeginWrite Method

.NET Framework 1.1

Begins an asynchronous write.

[Visual Basic]
Overrides Public Function BeginWrite( _
   ByVal buffer() As Byte, _
   ByVal offset As Integer, _
   ByVal numBytes As Integer, _
   ByVal userCallback As AsyncCallback, _
   ByVal stateObject As Object _
) As IAsyncResult
[C#]
public override IAsyncResult BeginWrite(
 byte[] buffer,
 int offset,
 int numBytes,
 AsyncCallback userCallback,
 object stateObject
);
[C++]
public: IAsyncResult* BeginWrite(
 unsigned char buffer __gc[],
 int offset,
 int numBytes,
 AsyncCallback* userCallback,
 Object* stateObject
);
[JScript]
public override function BeginWrite(
   buffer : Byte[],
 offset : int,
 numBytes : int,
 userCallback : AsyncCallback,
 stateObject : Object
) : IAsyncResult;

Parameters

buffer: The buffer to which to write data.
offset: The byte offset in array at which to begin writing.
numBytes: The maximum number of bytes to write.
userCallback: The method to be called when the asynchronous write operation is completed. This parameter is optional.
stateObject: The status of the asynchronous write.

Return Value

An IAsyncResult that represents the asynchronous write, which is possibly still pending. This IAsyncResult must be passed to this stream's EndWrite method to ensure that the write is complete, then frees resources appropriately. This can be done either by the same code that called BeginWrite or in a callback passed to BeginWrite.

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
IOException	An asynchronous write was attempted past the end of the file.

Remarks

If a IsolatedStorageFileStream is writable, writing at the end of the stream expands the stream.

The current position in the stream is updated when you issue the asynchronous read or write, not when the I/O operation completes.

You must call EndWrite with the IAsyncResult that this method returns to find out how many bytes were written.
