Writes the stream contents to a byte array, regardless of the Position property.

public:
 virtual cli::array <System::Byte> ^ ToArray();
public virtual byte[] ToArray ();
abstract member ToArray : unit -> byte[]
override this.ToArray : unit -> byte[]
Public Overridable Function ToArray () As Byte()

Returns

Byte[]

A new byte array.

Remarks

This method omits unused bytes in MemoryStream from the array. To get the entire buffer, use the GetBuffer method.

This method returns a copy of the contents of the MemoryStream as a byte array. If the current instance was constructed on a provided byte array, a copy of the section of the array to which this instance has access is returned. See the MemoryStream constructor for details.

Note

This method works when the MemoryStream is closed.
