Parameters

buffer

The storage location for the received data.

offset

The zero-based position in the buffer at which to store the received data.

count

The exact number of bytes to read.

fill

Always true, use this version of Read to completely fill the buffer

Return Value

This method reads data from the stream and returns when the provided buffer is completely full or end of stream is reached. This method is a good way to read fixed-length data. An example of this is with HTTP chunking, which occurs when the server breaks up the HTTP response into fixed-size chunks. Each chunk is preceded with a hexidecimal value notifying the receiver of the size of the data chunk to follow. Initialize a byte array to this value, then call this method to fill the byte array.

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
