HttpWebRequest.ContentLength Property
Gets or sets the ContentLength of the request entity body.
Namespace: System.Net
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
Syntax
public override long ContentLength { get; set; }
Property Value
The number of bytes of data to send to the Internet resource. The default is -1, which indicates the property has not been set and that there is no request data to send.
Remarks
Getting this property returns the last value set, or -1 if no value has been set.
Setting this property sets the content length, and the application must write that much data to the stream.
This property interacts with SendChunked.
Exceptions
| Exception type | Condition |
|---|---|
| InvalidOperationException | The content length value cannot be changed, because the request was already submitted. |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | The value is negative. |
Version Information
Available in the .NET Micro Framework versions 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2.
