TextReader.ReadBlockAsync Method

Definition

Overloads

ReadBlockAsync(Memory<Char>, CancellationToken)

Asynchronously reads the characters from the current stream and writes the data to a buffer.

ReadBlockAsync(Char[], Int32, Int32)

Reads a specified maximum number of characters from the current text reader asynchronously and writes the data to a buffer, beginning at the specified index.

ReadBlockAsync(Memory<Char>, CancellationToken)

Asynchronously reads the characters from the current stream and writes the data to a buffer.

public virtual System.Threading.Tasks.ValueTask<int> ReadBlockAsync (Memory<char> buffer, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
abstract member ReadBlockAsync : Memory<char> * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.ValueTask<int>
override this.ReadBlockAsync : Memory<char> * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.ValueTask<int>
Public Overridable Function ReadBlockAsync (buffer As Memory(Of Char), Optional cancellationToken As CancellationToken = Nothing) As ValueTask(Of Integer)

Parameters

buffer
Memory<Char>

When this method returns, contains the specified memory block of characters replaced by the characters read from the current source.

cancellationToken
CancellationToken

The token to monitor for cancellation requests. The default value is None.

Returns

A value task that represents the asynchronous read operation. The value of the type parameter contains the total number of characters read into the buffer. The result value can be less than the number of characters requested if the number of characters currently available is less than the requested number, or it can be 0 (zero) if the end of the stream has been reached.

Exceptions

The cancellation token was canceled. This exception is stored into the returned task.

Applies to

ReadBlockAsync(Char[], Int32, Int32)

Reads a specified maximum number of characters from the current text reader asynchronously and writes the data to a buffer, beginning at the specified index.

public:
 virtual System::Threading::Tasks::Task<int> ^ ReadBlockAsync(cli::array <char> ^ buffer, int index, int count);
public virtual System.Threading.Tasks.Task<int> ReadBlockAsync (char[] buffer, int index, int count);
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(false)]

override this.ReadBlockAsync : char[] * int * int -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<int>
Public Overridable Function ReadBlockAsync (buffer As Char(), index As Integer, count As Integer) As Task(Of Integer)

Parameters

buffer
Char[]

When this method returns, contains the specified character array with the values between index and (index + count - 1) replaced by the characters read from the current source.

index
Int32

The position in buffer at which to begin writing.

count
Int32

The maximum number of characters to read. If the end of the text is reached before the specified number of characters is read into the buffer, the current method returns.

Returns

A task that represents the asynchronous read operation. The value of the TResult parameter contains the total number of bytes read into the buffer. The result value can be less than the number of bytes requested if the number of bytes currently available is less than the requested number, or it can be 0 (zero) if the end of the text has been reached.

Attributes

Exceptions

buffer is null.

index or count is negative.

The sum of index and count is larger than the buffer length.

The text reader has been disposed.

The reader is currently in use by a previous read operation.

Remarks

The task does not complete until either the number of characters specified by the count parameter are read, or the end of the text has been reached.

This method stores in the task it returns all non-usage exceptions that the method's synchronous counterpart can throw. If an exception is stored into the returned task, that exception will be thrown when the task is awaited. Usage exceptions, such as ArgumentException, are still thrown synchronously. For the stored exceptions, see the exceptions thrown by ReadBlock(Char[], Int32, Int32).
