Remarks
The CanRead and CanSeek properties are both set to true. Capacity is set to the length of the specified byte array.
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.
