Parameters

value

The value to write.

A length-prefixed string represents the string length by prefixing to the string a single byte or word that contains the length of that string. This method first writes the length of the string as a four-byte unsigned integer, and then writes that many characters to the stream. This method writes a length-prefixed string to this stream using the BinaryWriter instance's current Encoding.
