Examples

The following example shows how to write characters by using the WriteAsync(Char) method.

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            WriteCharacters();
        }

        static async void WriteCharacters()
        {
            StringBuilder stringToWrite = new StringBuilder("Characters in StringBuilder");
            stringToWrite.AppendLine();

            using (StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(stringToWrite))
            {
                UnicodeEncoding ue = new UnicodeEncoding();
                char[] charsToAdd = ue.GetChars(ue.GetBytes("and chars to add"));
                foreach (char c in charsToAdd)
                {
                    await writer.WriteAsync(c);
                }
                Console.WriteLine(stringToWrite.ToString());
            }
        }
    }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//
// Characters in StringBuilder
// and chars to add
//

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        WriteCharacters()
    End Sub

    Async Sub WriteCharacters()
        Dim stringToWrite As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder("Characters in StringBuilder")
        stringToWrite.AppendLine()

        Using writer As StringWriter = New StringWriter(stringToWrite)

            Dim ue As UnicodeEncoding = New UnicodeEncoding()
            Dim charsToAdd() = ue.GetChars(ue.GetBytes("and chars to add"))
            For Each c As Char In charsToAdd
                Await writer.WriteAsync(c)
            Next
            Console.WriteLine(stringToWrite.ToString())
        End Using
    End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'
' Characters in StringBuilder
' and chars to add
'

Remarks

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 Write(Char).

WriteAsync(String)

Source:

StringWriter.cs

Writes a string to the current string asynchronously.

public:
 override System::Threading::Tasks::Task ^ WriteAsync(System::String ^ value);

public override System.Threading.Tasks.Task WriteAsync (string? value);

override this.WriteAsync : string -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task

Public Overrides Function WriteAsync (value As String) As Task

Parameters

value

String

The string to write. If value is null, nothing is written to the text stream.

Returns

Task

A task that represents the asynchronous write operation.

Exceptions

ObjectDisposedException

The string writer is disposed.

InvalidOperationException

The string writer is currently in use by a previous write operation.

Examples

The following example shows how to write a string by using the WriteAsync(String) method.

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            WriteCharacters();
        }

        static async void WriteCharacters()
        {
            StringBuilder stringToWrite = new StringBuilder("Characters in StringBuilder");
            stringToWrite.AppendLine();

            using (StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(stringToWrite))
            {
                await writer.WriteAsync("and add characters through StringWriter");
                Console.WriteLine(stringToWrite.ToString());
            }
        }
    }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//
// Characters in StringBuilder
// and add characters through StringWriter
//

        Dim stringToWrite As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder("Characters in StringBuilder")
        stringToWrite.AppendLine()

        Using writer As StringWriter = New StringWriter(stringToWrite)
            Await writer.WriteAsync("and add characters through StringWriter")
            Console.WriteLine(stringToWrite.ToString())
