BinaryReader(Stream)
- Source:
- BinaryReader.cs
- Source:
- BinaryReader.cs

- BinaryReader.cs
Initializes a new instance of the BinaryReader class based on the specified stream and using UTF-8 encoding.
public:
BinaryReader(System::IO::Stream ^ input);
public BinaryReader (System.IO.Stream input);
new System.IO.BinaryReader : System.IO.Stream -> System.IO.BinaryReader
Public Sub New (input As Stream)
Parameters
- input
- Stream
The input stream.
Exceptions
The stream does not support reading, is null
, or is already closed.
