Method Read

Read(byte[], int, int)

When overridden in a derived class, reads a sequence of bytes from the current stream and advances the position within the stream by the number of bytes read.

Declaration
public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)
Parameters
Type Name Description
byte[] buffer

An array of bytes. When this method returns, the buffer contains the specified byte array with the values between offset and (offset + count - 1) replaced by the bytes read from the current source.
int offset

The zero-based byte offset in buffer at which to begin storing the data read from the current stream.
int count

The maximum number of bytes to be read from the current stream.
Returns
Type Description
int

The total number of bytes read into the buffer. This can be less than the number of bytes requested if that many bytes are not currently available, or zero (0) if the end of the stream has been reached.
Overrides
Exceptions

The sum of offset and count is larger than the buffer length.
