[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]

Namespace: System.IO
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
Public Sub New ( _
buffer As Byte() _
)
public MemoryStream(
byte[] buffer
)
Parameters
- buffer
Type: array<System..::.Byte>[]()[]
The array of unsigned bytes from which to create the current stream.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | buffer is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
Remarks
The CanRead, CanSeek, and CanWrite properties are all set to true. Capacity is set to the length of the specified byte array. The new stream can be written to, but is not resizable.
The length of the stream cannot be set to a value greater than the initial length of the specified byte array; however, the stream can be truncated (see SetLength).
This constructor does not expose the underlying stream. GetBuffer throws UnauthorizedAccessException.
Version Notes
Windows Phone
System.ArgumentNullException is thrown when trying to retrieve a MemoryStream object with a size of zero bytes from a resource file. On Windows, no exception is thrown when the length is equal to zero.
