public:
virtual property long Position { long get(); void set(long value); };public override long Position { get; set; }member this.Position : int64 with get, setPublic Overrides Property Position As LongProperty Value
The current position of this stream.
Exceptions
The stream does not support seeking.
An I/O error occurred.
Attempted to set the position to a negative value.
Attempted seeking past the end of a stream that does not support this.
Examples
The following example uses the Length and Position properties to check for an end-of-file condition.
if ( s->Length == s->Position )
{
Console::WriteLine( "End of file has been reached." );
}
if( s.Length==s.Position )
{
Console.WriteLine("End of file has been reached.");
}
if s.Length = s.Position then
printfn "End of file has been reached."
If s.Length = s.Position Then
Console.WriteLine("End of file has been reached.")
End If
Remarks
Seeking to any location beyond the length of the stream is supported. When you seek beyond the length of the file, the file size grows. Any data added to the end of the file is set to zero.
