BinaryReader.ReadBytes(Int32) Method

Definition

Reads the specified number of bytes from the current stream into a byte array and advances the current position by that number of bytes.

public:
 virtual cli::array <System::Byte> ^ ReadBytes(int count);
public virtual byte[] ReadBytes (int count);
abstract member ReadBytes : int -> byte[]
override this.ReadBytes : int -> byte[]
Public Overridable Function ReadBytes (count As Integer) As Byte()

Parameters

count
Int32

The number of bytes to read. This value must be 0 or a non-negative number or an exception will occur.

Returns

Byte[]

A byte array containing data read from the underlying stream. This might be less than the number of bytes requested if the end of the stream is reached.

Exceptions

The number of decoded characters to read is greater than count. This can happen if a Unicode decoder returns fallback characters or a surrogate pair.

An I/O error occurred.

The stream is closed.

count is negative.

Examples

The following code example shows how to write binary data using memory as a backing store, and then verify that the data was written correctly.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
int main()
{
   const int arrayLength = 1000;
   
   // Create random data to write to the stream.
   array<Byte>^dataArray = gcnew array<Byte>(arrayLength);
   (gcnew Random)->NextBytes( dataArray );
   BinaryWriter^ binWriter = gcnew BinaryWriter( gcnew MemoryStream );
   
   // Write the data to the stream.
   Console::WriteLine(  "Writing the data." );
   binWriter->Write( dataArray );
   
   // Create the reader using the stream from the writer.
   BinaryReader^ binReader = gcnew BinaryReader( binWriter->BaseStream );
   
   // Set the stream position to the beginning of the stream.
   binReader->BaseStream->Position = 0;
   
   // Read and verify the data.
   array<Byte>^verifyArray = binReader->ReadBytes( arrayLength );
   if ( verifyArray->Length != arrayLength )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Error writing the data." );
      return  -1;
   }

   for ( int i = 0; i < arrayLength; i++ )
   {
      if ( verifyArray[ i ] != dataArray[ i ] )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "Error writing the data." );
         return  -1;
      }

   }
   Console::WriteLine( "The data was written and verified." );
