Definition

Flushes the output buffer and causes buffered data to write to the Listeners collection.

 static void Flush();
[System.Diagnostics.Conditional("DEBUG")]
public static void Flush ();
[<System.Diagnostics.Conditional("DEBUG")>]
static member Flush : unit -> unit
Public Shared Sub Flush ()

Examples

The following example creates a TextWriterTraceListener named myTextListener. myTextListener uses a FileStream called myFileStream to write to a file named TestFile.txt. The example creates the stream, opens the file if it exists or creates a new one, writes one line of text to the file, and then flushes and closes the output.

    // Create a new stream object for an output file named TestFile.txt.
    FileStream^ myFileStream = 
        gcnew FileStream( "TestFile.txt", FileMode::Append );
   
    // Add the stream object to the trace listeners.
    TextWriterTraceListener^ myTextListener = 
        gcnew TextWriterTraceListener( myFileStream );
    Debug::Listeners->Add( myTextListener );
   
    // Write output to the file.
    Debug::WriteLine( "Test output" );

Remarks

Flushing the stream will not flush its underlying encoder unless you explicitly call Flush or Close. Setting AutoFlush to true means that data will be flushed from the buffer to the stream, but the encoder state will not be flushed. This allows the encoder to keep its state (partial characters) so that it can encode the next block of characters correctly. This scenario affects UTF8 and UTF7 where certain characters can only be encoded after the encoder receives the adjacent character or characters.
