StreamContent::CreateContentReadStreamAsync Method ()

.NET Framework (current version)
 

Write the HTTP stream content to a memory stream as an asynchronous operation.

Namespace:   System.Net.Http
Assembly:  System.Net.Http (in System.Net.Http.dll)

protected:
virtual Task<Stream^>^ CreateContentReadStreamAsync() override

Return Value

Type: System.Threading.Tasks::Task<Stream^>^

The task object representing the asynchronous operation.

This operation will not block. The returned Task<TResult> object will complete after all of the content has been written to the memory stream.

The CreateContentReadStreamAsync method buffers the content to a memory stream. Derived classes can override this behavior if there is a better way to retrieve the content as stream. For example, a byte array or a string could use a more efficient method way such as wrapping a read-only MemoryStream around the bytes or string.)
