SslStream.BeginWrite(Byte[], Int32, Int32, AsyncCallback, Object) Method

Definition

Begins an asynchronous write operation that writes Bytes from the specified buffer to the stream.

public:
 override IAsyncResult ^ BeginWrite(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ buffer, int offset, int count, AsyncCallback ^ asyncCallback, System::Object ^ asyncState);
public override IAsyncResult BeginWrite (byte[] buffer, int offset, int count, AsyncCallback? asyncCallback, object? asyncState);
public override IAsyncResult BeginWrite (byte[] buffer, int offset, int count, AsyncCallback asyncCallback, object asyncState);
override this.BeginWrite : byte[] * int * int * AsyncCallback * obj -> IAsyncResult
Public Overrides Function BeginWrite (buffer As Byte(), offset As Integer, count As Integer, asyncCallback As AsyncCallback, asyncState As Object) As IAsyncResult

Parameters

buffer
Byte[]

A Byte array that supplies the bytes to be written to the stream.

offset
Int32

The zero-based location in buffer at which to begin reading bytes to be written to the stream.

count
Int32

An Int32 value that specifies the number of bytes to read from buffer.

asyncCallback
AsyncCallback

An AsyncCallback delegate that references the method to invoke when the write operation is complete.

asyncState
Object

A user-defined object that contains information about the write operation. This object is passed to the asyncCallback delegate when the operation completes.

Returns

An IAsyncResult object indicating the status of the asynchronous operation.

Exceptions

buffer is null.

offset is less than zero.

-or-

offset is greater than the length of buffer.

-or-

offset + count is greater than the length of buffer.

The write operation failed.

There is already a write operation in progress.

This object has been closed.

Authentication has not occurred.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates calling this method.

   // "<EOF>" marker.
   int byteCount = -1;
   try
   {
      Console::WriteLine( L"Reading data from the client." );
      byteCount = stream->EndRead( ar );

      // in case a character spans two buffers.
      Decoder^ decoder = Encoding::UTF8->GetDecoder();
