DataReceivedEventArgs Class
Provides data for the OutputDataReceived and ErrorDataReceived events.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The DataReceivedEventArgs type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
To asynchronously collect the redirected StandardOutput or StandardError stream output of a process, you must create a method that handles the redirected stream output events. The event-handler method is called when the process writes to the redirected stream. The event delegate calls your event handler with an instance of DataReceivedEventArgs. The Data property contains the text line that the process wrote to the redirected stream.
The following code example illustrates how to perform asynchronous read operations on the redirected StandardOutput stream of the sort command. The sort command is a console application that reads and sorts text input.
The example creates an event delegate for the SortOutputHandler event handler and associates it with the OutputDataReceived event. The event handler receives text lines from the redirected StandardOutput stream, formats the text, and writes the text to the screen.

Console::WriteLine( "Ready to sort up to 50 lines of text" ); String^ inputText; int numInputLines = 0; do { Console::WriteLine( "Enter a text line (or press the Enter key to stop):" ); inputText = Console::ReadLine(); if ( !String::IsNullOrEmpty( inputText ) ) { numInputLines++; sortStreamWriter->WriteLine( inputText ); } } while ( !String::IsNullOrEmpty( inputText ) && (numInputLines < 50) ); Console::WriteLine( "<end of input stream>" ); Console::WriteLine(); // End the input stream to the sort command. sortStreamWriter->Close(); // Wait for the sort process to write the sorted text lines. sortProcess->WaitForExit(); if ( numOutputLines > 0 ) { // Write the formatted and sorted output to the console. Console::WriteLine( " Sort results = {0} sorted text line(s) ", numOutputLines.ToString() ); Console::WriteLine( "----------" ); Console::WriteLine( sortOutput->ToString() ); } else { Console::WriteLine( " No input lines were sorted." ); } sortProcess->Close(); } private: static void SortOutputHandler( Object^ /*sendingProcess*/, DataReceivedEventArgs^ outLine ) { // Collect the sort command output. if ( !String::IsNullOrEmpty( outLine->Data ) ) { numOutputLines++; // Add the text to the collected output. sortOutput->AppendFormat( "\n[{0}] {1}", numOutputLines.ToString(), outLine->Data ); } } }; /// The main entry point for the application. void main() { try { SortOutputRedirection::SortInputListText(); } catch ( InvalidOperationException^ e ) { Console::WriteLine( "Exception:" ); Console::WriteLine( e ); } }
