The Stream type exposes the following members.
Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|

BeginRead | Begins an asynchronous read operation. |
|
BeginWrite | Begins an asynchronous write operation. |
|
Close | Closes the current stream and releases any resources (such as sockets and file handles) associated with the current stream. |
|
CopyTo(Stream) | Reads all the bytes from the current stream and writes them to the destination stream. |
|
CopyTo(Stream, Int32) | Reads all the bytes from the current stream and writes them to a destination stream, using a specified buffer size. |
|
CopyToAsync(Stream) | Asynchronously reads the bytes from the current stream and writes them to another stream. |
|
CopyToAsync(Stream, Int32) | Asynchronously reads the bytes from the current stream and writes them to another stream, using a specified buffer size. |
|
CopyToAsync(Stream, Int32, CancellationToken) | Asynchronously reads the bytes from the current stream and writes them to another stream, using a specified buffer size and cancellation token. |
|
Dispose()()() | Releases all resources used by the Stream. |

Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Stream and optionally releases the managed resources. |
|
EndRead | Waits for the pending asynchronous read to complete. |
|
EndWrite | Ends an asynchronous write operation. |
|
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
Flush | When overridden in a derived class, clears all buffers for this stream and causes any buffered data to be written to the underlying device. |
|
FlushAsync()()() | Asynchronously clears all buffers for this stream and causes any buffered data to be written to the underlying device. |
|
FlushAsync(CancellationToken) | Asynchronously clears all buffers for this stream, causes any buffered data to be written to the underlying device, and monitors cancellation requests. |
|
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
Read | 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. |
|
ReadAsync(array<Byte>[]()[], Int32, Int32) | Asynchronously reads a sequence of bytes from the current stream and advances the position within the stream by the number of bytes read. |
|
ReadAsync(array<Byte>[]()[], Int32, Int32, 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. |
|
ReadByte | Reads a byte from the stream and advances the position within the stream by one byte, or returns -1 if at the end of the stream. |
|
Seek | When overridden in a derived class, sets the position within the current stream. |
|
SetLength | When overridden in a derived class, sets the length of the current stream. |
|
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
Write | When overridden in a derived class, writes a sequence of bytes to the current stream and advances the current position within this stream by the number of bytes written. |
|
WriteAsync(array<Byte>[]()[], Int32, Int32) | Asynchronously writes a sequence of bytes to the current stream and advances the current position within this stream by the number of bytes written. |
|
WriteAsync(array<Byte>[]()[], Int32, Int32, CancellationToken) | Asynchronously writes a sequence of bytes to the current stream, advances the current position within this stream by the number of bytes written, and monitors cancellation requests. |
|
WriteByte | Writes a byte to the current position in the stream and advances the position within the stream by one byte. |
