Method ReadAsync

ReadAsync(byte[], int, int, CancellationToken)

Asynchronously reads a sequence of bytes from the current stream, advances the position within the stream by the number of bytes read, and monitors cancellation requests.

Declaration

public override Task<int> ReadAsync(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
byte[]	buffer	The buffer to write the data into.
int	offset	The byte offset in buffer at which to begin writing data from the stream.
int	count	The maximum number of bytes to read.
CancellationToken	cancellationToken	The token to monitor for cancellation requests. The default value is None.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<int>	A task that represents the asynchronous read operation. The value of the TResult parameter contains the total number of bytes read into the buffer. The result value can be less than the number of bytes requested if the number of bytes currently available is less than the requested number, or it can be 0 (zero) if the end of the stream has been reached.

Overrides

Stream.ReadAsync(byte[], int, int, CancellationToken)

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	buffer is null.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	offset or count is negative.
ArgumentException	The sum of offset and count is larger than the buffer length.
NotSupportedException	The stream does not support reading.
ObjectDisposedException	The stream has been disposed.
InvalidOperationException	The stream is currently in use by a previous read operation.
