Class AsyncStream

Namespace
VpnHood.Net.Toolkit.Streams
Assembly
VpnHood.Net.Toolkit.dll

Base Stream for async-only streams. It centralizes the repetitive plumbing: every synchronous I/O member throws NotSupportedException, and the legacy byte[]-based async overloads are routed to the Memory<T>-based core methods. Derived classes only implement the real I/O: ReadAsync(Memory<byte>, CancellationToken), WriteAsync(ReadOnlyMemory<byte>, CancellationToken), CanRead and CanWrite.

Methods

BeginRead(byte[], int, int, AsyncCallback?, object?)

ObjectDisposedException

Methods were called after the stream was closed.

NotSupportedException

The current Stream implementation does not support the write operation.

CopyTo(Stream, int)

Reads the bytes from the current stream and writes them to another stream, using a specified buffer size. Both streams positions are advanced by the number of bytes copied.

public override sealed void CopyTo(Stream destination, int bufferSize)

Parameters

destination Stream

The stream to which the contents of the current stream will be copied.

bufferSize int

The size of the buffer. This value must be greater than zero. The default size is 81920.

Remarks

Synchronous I/O is not supported: use the asynchronous members.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

destination is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

bufferSize is negative or zero.

NotSupportedException

The current stream does not support reading.

-or-

destination does not support writing.

ObjectDisposedException

Either the current stream or destination were closed before the CopyTo(Stream) method was called.

IOException

NotSupportedException

Always.

EndRead(IAsyncResult)

Waits for the pending asynchronous read to complete. (Consider using ReadAsync(byte[], int, int) instead.)

public override sealed int EndRead(IAsyncResult asyncResult)

Parameters

asyncResult IAsyncResult

The reference to the pending asynchronous request to finish.

Returns

int

The number of bytes read from the stream, between zero (0) and the number of bytes requested. ReadAsync returns zero (0) only if zero bytes were requested or if no more bytes will be available because it's at the end of the stream; otherwise, read operations do not complete until at least one byte is available. If zero bytes are requested, read operations may complete immediately or may not complete until at least one byte is available (but without consuming any data).

Remarks

The legacy asynchronous pattern is not supported: use ReadAsync or WriteAsync.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

asyncResult is null.

ArgumentException

A handle to the pending read operation is not available.

-or-

The pending operation does not support reading.

InvalidOperationException

asyncResult did not originate from a BeginRead(byte[], int, int, AsyncCallback, object) method on the current stream.

IOException

The stream is closed or an internal error has occurred.

NotSupportedException

Always.

ArgumentException

A handle to the pending write operation is not available.

-or-

The pending operation does not support writing.

InvalidOperationException

asyncResult did not originate from a BeginWrite(byte[], int, int, AsyncCallback, object) method on the current stream.
