Function BeginOpenRead (
	callback As AsyncCallback,
	state As Object
) As ICancellableAsyncResult

Parameters

callback

Type: System.AsyncCallbackSystem::AsyncCallback^System.AsyncCallbackSystem.AsyncCallback

An AsyncCallback delegate that will receive notification when the asynchronous operation completes.

state

Type: System.ObjectSystem::Object^System.ObjectSystem.Object

A user-defined object that will be passed to the callback delegate.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.ICancellableAsyncResultMicrosoft.WindowsAzure.Storage::ICancellableAsyncResult^Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.ICancellableAsyncResultMicrosoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.ICancellableAsyncResult

An ICancellableAsyncResult that references the asynchronous operation.

Remarks

On the Stream object returned by the EndOpenRead 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 BeginFetchAttributes 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.
