Reads a byte from the underlying stream and returns the byte cast to an int, or returns -1 if reading from the end of the stream.

override int ReadByte();public override int ReadByte();override this.ReadByte : unit -> intPublic Overrides Function ReadByte () As IntegerThe byte cast to an int, or -1 if reading from the end of the stream.
An I/O error occurs, such as the stream being closed.
The stream does not support reading.
Methods were called after the stream was closed.
The default implementation on Stream creates a new single-byte array and then calls Read(Byte[], Int32, Int32). While this is formally correct, it is inefficient. Any stream with an internal buffer should override this method and provide a much more efficient version that reads the buffer directly, avoiding the extra array allocation on every call.
