Public Method ReferenceEquals (Inherited from Object.)
Public Method Seek When overridden in a derived class, this method sets the position within the current Stream object.
Public Method SetLength When overridden in a derived class, this method sets the length of the current Stream object.
Public Method ToString (Inherited from Object.)
