Public Overridable Function OpenReadAsync As Task(Of Stream)

Return Value

Type: System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Stream>System.Threading.Tasks::Task<Stream^>^System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Stream>System.Threading.Tasks.Task(Of Stream)

A Task<TResult><TResult><'TResult>(Of TResult) object of type Stream that represents the asynchronous operation.

Remarks

On the Stream object returned by this method, the EndRead method must be called exactly once for every BeginRead call. Failing to end the read process before beginning another read process can cause unexpected behavior.

Note that this method always makes a call to the FetchAttributesAsync method under the covers.

Set the StreamMinimumReadSizeInBytesStreamMinimumReadSizeInBytesStreamMinimumReadSizeInBytesStreamMinimumReadSizeInBytes property before calling this method to specify the minimum number of bytes to buffer when reading from the stream. The value must be at least 16 KB.
