NetworkStream Members

Public:

Constructor

NetworkStream Constructor Overloaded. Creates a new instance of the NetworkStream class.

Properties

CanRead Indicates that data can be read from the stream.
CanSeek Indicates that the stream can seek a specific location in the stream. This property always returns false.
CanWrite Indicates that data can be written to the stream.
DataAvailable Indicates data is available on the stream to be read.
Length The length of data available on the stream. Always throws System..NotSupportedException.
Position Gets or sets the position in the stream. Always throws System..NotSupportedException.

Methods

BeginRead Begins an asychronous read from a stream.
BeginWrite Begins an asynchronous write to a stream.
Close Closes the stream, and then closes the underlying socket.
EndRead Handle the end of an asynchronous read.
EndWrite Handle the end of an asynchronous write.
Equals (inherited from Object) Determines whether the specified Object is the same instance as the current Object. Subclasses are expected to override this method to support value equality (not reference equality).
Flush Flushes data from the stream.
GetHashCode (inherited from Object) Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetType (inherited from Object) Gets the Type of the Object.
Read Reads data from the stream.
ReadByte (inherited from Stream) Reads a byte from the current position in the stream, or-1 if at the end of the stream.
Seek Seeks a specific position in the stream. This method is not supported by the System.Net.Socket..NetworkStream class.
SetLength Sets the length of the stream. Always throws System..NotSupportedException.
ToString (inherited from Object) Returns a String that represents the current Object.
Write Writes data to the stream..
WriteByte (inherited from Stream) Writes a byte to the current position in the stream.

If the stream is closed or not writable, an exception will be thrown.

Protected:

Methods

CreateWaitHandle (inherited from Stream) Allocates a WaitHandle object efficiently.
Finalize (inherited from Object) Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by the Garbage Collector (GC). This method may be ignored by the runtime; therefore, necessary cleanup operations should be done elsewhere.
MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Fields

m_Readable Used by the class to indicate that the stream is readable.
m_StreamSocket Used by the class to hold the underlying socket the stream uses.
m_Writeable Used by the class to indicate that the stream is writable.
