Returns

A 32-bit integer in compressed format.

Exceptions

The end of the stream is reached.

The stream is closed.

An I/O error occurred.

The stream is corrupted.

Remarks

BinaryReader does not restore the file position after an unsuccessful read.

If the integer will fit in seven bits, the integer takes only one byte of space. The integer is expected to have been written through BinaryWriter.Write7BitEncodedInt.
