Parameters
- buffer
Type: array<System. . :: . .Char> [] () [] []
When this method returns, this parameter contains the specified character array with the values between index and (index + count -1) replaced by the characters read from the current source.
- index
Type: System. . :: . .Int32
The position in buffer at which to begin writing.
- count
Type: System. . :: . .Int32
The maximum number of characters to read.
Return Value
Type: System. . :: . .Int32
The number of characters that have been read. The number will be less than or equal to count, depending on whether all input characters have been read.
Remarks
The position of the underlying text reader is advanced by the number of characters that were read into buffer.
The method blocks until either count characters are read, or all characters have been read. This is a blocking version of Read.
