Examples
The following code example shows the use of the Available property.
static void GetAvailable( TcpClient^ t )
{
// Find out how many bytes are ready to be read.
Console::WriteLine( "Available value is {0}", t->Available.ToString() );
;
}
static void GetAvailable()
{
// Find out how many bytes are ready to be read.
Console.WriteLine("Available value is {0}", t.Available);
}
Remarks
The Available property is a way to determine whether data is queued for reading. If data is available, call Read to get the data. The available data is the total amount of data queued in the network buffer for reading. If no data is queued in the network buffer, Available returns 0.
If the remote host shuts down or closes the connection, Available may throw a SocketException. If you receive a SocketException, use SocketException.ErrorCode to obtain the specific error code. After you have obtained this code, you can refer to the Windows Sockets version 2 API error code documentation for a detailed description of the error.
