MemoryStream Constructor (array<Byte[], Int32, Int32)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Initializes a new non-resizable instance of the MemoryStream class based on the specified region (index) of a byte array.

Namespace:  System.IO
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    buffer As Byte(), _
    index As Integer, _
    count As Integer _
)

public MemoryStream(
    byte[] buffer,
    int index,
    int count
)

Parameters

  • buffer
    Type: array<System.Byte[]
    The array of unsigned bytes from which to create this stream.
  • index
    Type: System.Int32
    The index into buffer at which the stream begins.
  • count
    Type: System.Int32
    The length of the stream in bytes.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

buffer is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

index or count is less than zero.
ArgumentException

The buffer length minus index is less than count.

Remarks

The CanRead, CanSeek, and CanWrite properties are all set to true, but the capacity cannot be changed. Capacity is set to count.

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. However, you can write to the stream.

Platform Notes

 System.ArgumentNullException is thrown when trying to retrieve a MemoryStream object with a size of zero bytes from a resource file. On Windows, no exception is thrown when the length is equal to zero.
