Stream Members
Visual Studio 2008
Provides a generic view of a sequence of bytes.
The Stream type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
BeginRead | Begins an asynchronous read operation. |
|
BeginWrite | Begins an asynchronous write operation. |
|
Close | Closes the current stream and releases any resources (such as sockets and file handles) associated with the current stream. |
|
CreateObjRef | Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
|
CreateWaitHandle | Obsolete. Allocates a WaitHandle object. |
|
Dispose | Overloaded. Releases all resources used by the Stream object. |
|
EndRead | Waits for the pending asynchronous read to complete. |
|
EndWrite | Ends an asynchronous write operation. |
|
Equals | 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.) |
|
Flush | When overridden in a derived class, clears all buffers for this stream and causes any buffered data to be written to the underlying device. |
|
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetLifetimeService | Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
|
GetType | Gets the type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
InitializeLifetimeService | Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) |
|
MemberwiseClone | Overloaded. |
|
Read | When overridden in a derived class, reads a sequence of bytes from the current stream and advances the position within the stream by the number of bytes read. |
|
ReadByte | Reads a byte from the stream and advances the position within the stream by one byte, or returns -1 if at the end of the stream. |
|
Seek | When overridden in a derived class, sets the position within the current stream. |
|
SetLength | When overridden in a derived class, sets the length of the current stream. |
|
Synchronized | Creates a thread-safe (synchronized) wrapper around the specified Stream object. |
|
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
Write | When overridden in a derived class, writes a sequence of bytes to the current stream and advances the current position within this stream by the number of bytes written. |
|
WriteByte | Writes a byte to the current position in the stream and advances the position within the stream by one byte. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
CanRead | When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports reading. |
|
CanSeek | When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports seeking. |
|
CanTimeout | Gets a value that determines whether the current stream can time out. |
|
CanWrite | When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports writing. |
|
Length | When overridden in a derived class, gets the length in bytes of the stream. |
|
Position | When overridden in a derived class, gets or sets the position within the current stream. |
|
ReadTimeout | Gets or sets a value, in miliseconds, that determines how long the stream will attempt to read before timing out. |
|
WriteTimeout | Gets or sets a value, in miliseconds, that determines how long the stream will attempt to write before timing out. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
IDisposable::Dispose | For a description of this member, see IDisposable::Dispose. |
