Public Overridable Property AllowReadStreamBuffering As Boolean
Get
Set
Dim instance As HttpWebRequest
Dim value As Boolean

public virtual bool AllowReadStreamBuffering { get; set; }
Property Value
Type:
System..::.Boolean
true to enable buffering of the data received from the Internet resource; false to disable buffering. The default is true.
When AllowReadStreamBuffering is true, the data is buffered in memory so it is ready to be read by the application.
The AllowReadStreamBuffering property affects when the callback from BeginGetResponse method is called. When the AllowReadStreamBuffering property is true, the callback is raised once the entire stream has been downloaded into memory. When the AllowReadStreamBuffering property is false, the callback is raised as soon as the stream is available for reading which may be before all data has arrived.
If an application implements a custom WebRequest class and does not override the AllowReadStreamBuffering property, then the NotImplementedException is thrown.
