    <OutAttribute> buffer As Char(), _

public virtual int Read(

)

Parameters

  • buffer
    Type: array<System.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
    Type: System.Int32
    The place in buffer at which to begin writing.
  • count

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

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
The number of characters that have been read. The number will be less than or equal to count, depending on whether the data is available within the stream. This method returns zero if called when no more characters are left to read.
