Either Request or Response will be set, but not both. Whichever is set is the message to be read or written, according to the value of IsRead. In situations where neither a request or response is available, ContentType contains the raw content type.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
