Examples

The following code example copies the contents of an InputStream into a string.

System.IO.Stream str; String strmContents;
Int32 counter, strLen, strRead;
// Create a Stream object.
str = Request.InputStream;
// Find number of bytes in stream.
strLen = Convert.ToInt32(str.Length);
// Create a byte array.
byte[] strArr = new byte[strLen];
// Read stream into byte array.
strRead = str.Read(strArr, 0, strLen);
                
// Convert byte array to a text string.
strmContents = "";
for (counter = 0; counter < strLen; counter++)
{
    strmContents = strmContents + strArr[counter].ToString();            
}

Dim str As System.IO.Stream, strmContents As String
Dim counter, strLen, strRead As Integer
 
' Create a Stream object.
str = Request.InputStream
' Find number of bytes in stream.
strLen = CInt(str.Length)
' Create a byte array.
Dim strArr(strLen) As Byte 
' Read stream into byte array.
strRead = str.Read(strArr,0,strLen) 
 
' Convert byte array to a text string.
For counter = 0 To strLen-1
   strmContents = strmContents & strArr(counter).ToString()
Next counter
