Stream.CanRead Property
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
For an example of creating a file and writing text to a file, see How to: Write Text to a File. For an example of reading text from a file, see How to: Read Text from a File. For an example of reading from and writing to a binary file, see How to: Read and Write to a Newly Created Data File.
If a class derived from Stream does not support reading, calls to the Read, ReadByte, and BeginRead methods throw a NotSupportedException.
If the stream is closed, this property returns false.
The following is an example of using the CanRead property.
import System.*;
import System.IO.*;
class TestRW
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
FileStream fs = new FileStream("MyFile.txt",
FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Read);
if (fs.get_CanRead() && fs.get_CanWrite()) {
Console.WriteLine("MyFile.txt can be both written to "
+ "and read from.");
}
else {
if (fs.get_CanRead()) {
Console.WriteLine("MyFile.txt is not writable.");
}
}
} //main
} //TestRW
import System; import System.IO; class TestRW { public static function Main() : void { var fs : FileStream = new FileStream("MyFile.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Read); if (fs.CanRead && fs.CanWrite) { Console.WriteLine("MyFile.txt can be both written to and read from."); } else if (fs.CanRead) { Console.WriteLine("MyFile.txt is not writable."); } } } TestRW.Main();
