FileStream.BeginWrite Method
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public override IAsyncResult BeginWrite ( byte[] array, int offset, int numBytes, AsyncCallback userCallback, Object stateObject )
public IAsyncResult BeginWrite ( byte[] array, int offset, int numBytes, AsyncCallback userCallback, Object stateObject )
public override function BeginWrite ( array : byte[], offset : int, numBytes : int, userCallback : AsyncCallback, stateObject : Object ) : IAsyncResult
Not applicable.
Parameters
- array
The buffer containing data to write to the current stream.
- offset
The zero-based byte offset in array at which to begin copying bytes to the current stream.
- numBytes
The maximum number of bytes to write.
- userCallback
The method to be called when the asynchronous write operation is completed.
- stateObject
A user-provided object that distinguishes this particular asynchronous write request from other requests.
Return Value
An IAsyncResult that references the asynchronous write.EndWrite must be called exactly once on every IAsyncResult from BeginWrite. EndWrite will block until the I/O operation has completed.
This method overrides BeginWrite.
FileStream provides two different modes of operation: synchronous I/O and asynchronous I/O. While either can be used, the underlying operating system resources might allow access in only one of these modes. By default, FileStream opens the operating system handle synchronously. In Windows, this slows down asynchronous methods. If asynchronous methods are used, use the FileStream(String,FileMode,FileAccess,FileShare,Int32,Boolean) constructor.
If a stream is closed or you pass an invalid argument, exceptions are thrown immediately from BeginWrite. Errors that occur during an asynchronous write request, such as a disk failure during the IO request, occur on the thread pool thread and become visible upon a call to EndWrite.
 Note: |
|---|
| On Windows, all I/O operations smaller than 64 KB will complete synchronously for better performance. Asynchronous I/O might hinder performance for buffer sizes smaller than 64 KB. |
Multiple simultaneous asynchronous requests render the request completion order uncertain.
For a list of common I/O tasks, see Common I/O Tasks.

This code example is part of a larger example provided for the FileStream(String,FileMode,FileAccess,FileShare,Int32,Boolean) constructor.
static void Main() { // Create a synchronization object that gets // signaled when verification is complete.

Console.WriteLine("fStream was {0}opened asynchronously.", fStream.IsAsync ? "" : "not "); // Asynchronously write to the file. IAsyncResult asyncResult = fStream.BeginWrite( writeArray, 0, writeArray.Length, new AsyncCallback(EndWriteCallback), new State(fStream, writeArray, manualEvent)); // Concurrently do other work and then wait // for the data to be written and verified. manualEvent.WaitOne(5000, false); }
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Create a synchronization object that gets
// signaled when verification is complete.

new Random().NextBytes(writeArray);
FileStream fStream = new FileStream("Test#@@#.dat", FileMode.Create,
FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.None, 4096, true);
// Check that the FileStream was opened asynchronously.
Console.WriteLine("fStream was {0}opened asynchronously.",
(fStream.get_IsAsync()) ? "" : "not ");
FStream classfStream = new FStream();
// Asynchronously write to the file.
IAsyncResult asyncResult = fStream.BeginWrite(writeArray, 0,
writeArray.length, new AsyncCallback(EndWriteCallback),
classfStream.new State(fStream, writeArray, manualEvent));
// Concurrently do other work and then wait
// for the data to be written and verified.
manualEvent.WaitOne(5000, false);
