Stream

Public:

Types:

Name	Description
SeekOrigin	The reference point in which to begin seeking from.

Properties:

Name	Description
CanRead (get)	Returns if the stream supports reading.
CanSeek (get)	Returns if the stream supports seeking.
CanTimeout (get)	Returns if the Stream object can timeout during a read or write operation.
CanWrite (get)	Returns if the stream supports being written to.
Length (get)	Returns the length of the stream in bytes.
Position (get)	Returns the current position within the stream.
Position (let)	Sets the position in the stream where the next read or write will take place.
ReadTimeout (get)	Returns the duration allowed before a timeout will occur.
ReadTimeout (let)	Sets the duration allowed before a timeout will occur.
WriteTimeout (get)	Returns the duration allowed before a timeout will occur.
WriteTimeout (let)	Sets the duration allowed before a timeout will occur.

Methods:

Name	Description
BeginRead	Begins an Asynchronous reading process.
BeginWrite	Begins an Asynchronous writing process.
CloseStream	Closes the current stream.
CopyTo	Reads the bytes from the current stream and writes them to another stream.
EndRead	Ends an asynchronous read operation returning the total number of bytes read.
EndWrite	Used to end an asynchronous write operation.
Equals	Determines if this instance is equal to the value.
Flush	Flushes any buffers in the object to the underlying stream.
GetHashCode	Returns a semi-unique number representing this instance.
ReadBlock	Reads a block of bytes from the stream.
ReadByte	Reads a single byte from the stream.
SeekPosition	Moves the current stream pointer to a new position.
SetLength	Sets the length of the current stream.
ToString	Returns a string representation of the this instance.
WriteBlock	Writes an array of bytes to the stream.
WriteByte	Writes a single byte to the stream.

Remarks

This interface should be implements on classes that wish to be used as a Stream type object.
