A wrapper stream that provides read-only access to an underlying stream.

Inheritance

Constructors

ReadOnlyStream(Stream)

Initializes a new instance of the ReadOnlyStream class.

public ReadOnlyStream(Stream innerStream)

Parameters

innerStream Stream

The underlying stream to wrap.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

Thrown when innerStream is null.

Properties

CanRead

When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports reading.

public override bool CanRead { get; }

Property Value

bool

true if the stream supports reading; otherwise, false.

CanSeek

When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports seeking.

public override bool CanSeek { get; }

Property Value

bool

true if the stream supports seeking; otherwise, false.

CanTimeout

Gets a value that determines whether the current stream can time out.

public override bool CanTimeout { get; }

Property Value

bool

A value that determines whether the current stream can time out.

CanWrite

When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports writing.

public override bool CanWrite { get; }

Property Value

bool

true if the stream supports writing; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This stream is read-only and always returns false.

Length

When overridden in a derived class, gets the length in bytes of the stream.

public override long Length { get; }

Property Value

long

A long value representing the length of the stream in bytes.

Position

When overridden in a derived class, gets or sets the position within the current stream.

public override long Position { get; set; }

Property Value

long

The current position within the stream.

ReadTimeout

Gets or sets a value, in milliseconds, that determines how long the stream will attempt to read before timing out.

public override int ReadTimeout { get; set; }

Property Value

int

A value, in milliseconds, that determines how long the stream will attempt to read before timing out.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException

WriteTimeout

Gets or sets a value, in milliseconds, that determines how long the stream will attempt to write before timing out.

public override int WriteTimeout { get; set; }

Property Value

int

A value, in milliseconds, that determines how long the stream will attempt to write before timing out.

Remarks

Setting or getting this property is not supported for a read-only stream.

Exceptions

InvalidOperationException
NotSupportedException

Always thrown when accessing this property.

Methods

Dispose(bool)

Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Stream and optionally releases the managed resources.

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)

Parameters

disposing bool

true to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.

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.

public override void Flush()

Remarks

Flushing of a read-only stream is not supported.

Exceptions

NotSupportedException

Always thrown when called.

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.

public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)

Parameters

buffer byte[]

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.

offset int

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

count int

The maximum number of bytes to be read from the current stream.

Returns

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.

Read(SpanByte)

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.

public override int Read(SpanByte buffer)

Parameters

buffer SpanByte

A region of memory. When this method returns, the contents of this region are replaced by the bytes read from the current source.

Returns

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.

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.

public override int ReadByte()

Returns

int

The unsigned byte cast to an Int32, or -1 if at the end of the stream.

Seek(long, SeekOrigin)

When overridden in a derived class, sets the position within the current stream.

public override long Seek(long offset, SeekOrigin origin)

Parameters

offset long

A byte offset relative to the origin parameter.

origin SeekOrigin

A value of type SeekOrigin indicating the reference point used to obtain the new position.

Returns

long

The new position within the current stream.

SetLength(long)

When overridden in a derived class, sets the length of the current stream.

public override void SetLength(long value)

Parameters

value long

The desired length of the current stream in bytes.

Remarks

Setting the length of a read-only stream is not supported.

Exceptions

NotSupportedException

Always thrown when called.

Write(byte[], int, int)

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.

public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)

Parameters

buffer byte[]

An array of bytes. This method copies count bytes from buffer to the current stream.

offset int

The zero-based byte offset in buffer at which to begin copying bytes to the current stream.

count int

The number of bytes to be written to the current stream.

Remarks

Writing to a read-only stream is not supported.

Exceptions

NotSupportedException

Always thrown when called.

WriteByte(byte)

Writes a byte to the current position in the stream and advances the position within the stream by one byte.

public override void WriteByte(byte value)

Parameters

value byte

The byte to write to the stream.

Remarks

Writing a byte to a read-only stream is not supported.

Exceptions

NotSupportedException

Always thrown when called.
