Write(Char[], Int32, Int32)

Source:

StreamWriter.cs

Writes a subarray of characters to the stream.

public:
 override void Write(cli::array <char> ^ buffer, int index, int count);

public override void Write (char[] buffer, int index, int count);

override this.Write : char[] * int * int -> unit

Public Overrides Sub Write (buffer As Char(), index As Integer, count As Integer)

Parameters

buffer

Char[]

A character array that contains the data to write.

index

Int32

The character position in the buffer at which to start reading data.

count

Int32

The maximum number of characters to write.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

buffer is null.

ArgumentException

The buffer length minus index is less than count.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

index or count is negative.

IOException

An I/O error occurs.

ObjectDisposedException

AutoFlush is true or the StreamWriter buffer is full, and current writer is closed.

NotSupportedException

AutoFlush is true or the StreamWriter buffer is full, and the contents of the buffer cannot be written to the underlying fixed size stream because the StreamWriter is at the end the stream.

Examples

This example writes eight characters from a 13-element array to a file, beginning at the third element of the array.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;

int main()
{
   FileStream^ sb = gcnew FileStream( "MyFile.txt",FileMode::OpenOrCreate );
   array<Char>^b = {'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m'};
   StreamWriter^ sw = gcnew StreamWriter( sb );
   sw->Write( b, 3, 8 );
   sw->Close();
}

using System;
using System.IO;

public class SWBuff
{
    public static void Main(String[] args)
    {
        FileStream sb = new FileStream("MyFile.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
        char[] b = {'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j','k','l','m'};
        StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(sb);
        sw.Write(b, 3, 8);
        sw.Close();
    }
}

Imports System.IO

Public Class SWBuff

    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Dim sb As New FileStream("MyFile.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate)
        Dim b As Char() = {"a"c, "b"c, "c"c, "d"c, "e"c, "f"c, "g"c, _
           "h"c, "i"c, "j"c, "k"c, "l"c, "m"c}
        Dim sw As New StreamWriter(sb)
        sw.Write(b, 3, 8)
        sw.Close()
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

This method overrides TextWriter.Write.

The characters are read from buffer beginning at index and continuing through index + (count - 1). All characters are written to the underlying stream unless the end of the underlying stream is reached prematurely. Flush is invoked automatically if AutoFlush is true.

Write(String, Object[])

Source:

StreamWriter.cs

Writes a formatted string to the stream, using the same semantics as the Format(String, Object[]) method.

public:
 override void Write(System::String ^ format, ... cli::array <System::Object ^> ^ arg);

public override void Write (string format, params object?[] arg);

override this.Write : string * obj[] -> unit

Public Overrides Sub Write (format As String, ParamArray arg As Object())

Parameters

format

String

A composite format string.

arg

Object[]

An object array that contains zero or more objects to format and write.

Remarks

See Write(String, Object[]) for a description of the composite formatting capabilities offered.

Write(ReadOnlySpan<Char>)

Source:

StreamWriter.cs

Writes a character span to the stream.

public:
 override void Write(ReadOnlySpan<char> buffer);

public override void Write (ReadOnlySpan<char> buffer);

override this.Write : ReadOnlySpan<char> -> unit

Public Overrides Sub Write (buffer As ReadOnlySpan(Of Char))

Parameters

buffer

ReadOnlySpan<Char>

The character span to write.

Write(String)

Source:

StreamWriter.cs

Writes a string to the stream.

public:
 override void Write(System::String ^ value);

public override void Write (string? value);

override this.Write : string -> unit

Public Overrides Sub Write (value As String)

Parameters

value

String

The string to write to the stream. If value is null, nothing is written.

Exceptions

ObjectDisposedException

AutoFlush is true or the StreamWriter buffer is full, and current writer is closed.

NotSupportedException

AutoFlush is true or the StreamWriter buffer is full, and the contents of the buffer cannot be written to the underlying fixed size stream because the StreamWriter is at the end the stream.

IOException

An I/O error occurs.

Remarks

This method overrides TextWriter.Write.

The specified String is written to the underlying stream unless the end of the stream is reached prematurely.

Flush is invoked automatically if AutoFlush is true. If value is null, no entries are written.

Write(Char[])

Source:

StreamWriter.cs

Writes a character array to the stream.

public:
 override void Write(cli::array <char> ^ buffer);

public override void Write (char[]? buffer);

override this.Write : char[] -> unit

Public Overrides Sub Write (buffer As Char())

Parameters

buffer

Char[]

A character array containing the data to write. If buffer is null, nothing is written.

Exceptions

IOException

An I/O error occurs.

ObjectDisposedException

AutoFlush is true or the StreamWriter buffer is full, and current writer is closed.

NotSupportedException

AutoFlush is true or the StreamWriter buffer is full, and the contents of the buffer cannot be written to the underlying fixed size stream because the StreamWriter is at the end the stream.

Remarks

This method overrides TextWriter.Write.

The specified characters are written to the underlying stream unless the end of the stream is reached prematurely. If AutoFlush is true, Flush is invoked automatically.

This method might provide faster performance than Write (char[],``int,``int) because it has fewer arguments to check.

Remarks

This method overrides TextWriter.Write.

The specified character is written to the underlying stream unless the end of the stream is reached prematurely. If AutoFlush is true, Flush is invoked automatically.
