Properties
ForEachCount
The number of buffers in the stream of this reader.
Declaration
public readonly int ForEachCount { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Int32 | The number of buffers in the stream of this reader. |
RemainingItemCount
The number of items not yet read from the buffer.
Declaration
public readonly int RemainingItemCount { get; }Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Int32 | The number of items not yet read from the buffer. |
Methods
BeginForEachIndex(Int32)
Readies this reader to read a particular buffer of the stream.
Declaration
public int BeginForEachIndex(int foreachIndex)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Int32 | foreachIndex | The index of the buffer to read. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Int32 | The number of elements left to read from the buffer. |
Remarks
Must be called before using this reader. For an individual reader, call this method only once.
When done using this reader, you must call EndForEachIndex().
Count()
Returns the total number of items in the buffers of the stream.
Declaration
public int Count()Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Int32 | The total number of items in the buffers of the stream. |
EndForEachIndex()
Checks if all data has been read from the buffer.
Declaration
public void EndForEachIndex()Remarks
If you intentionally don't want to read all the data in the buffer, don't call this method. Otherwise, calling this method is recommended, even though it's not strictly necessary.
