Mono Class Library: System.IO.Stream Overview | Members

System.IO.Stream.Null Field

Returns a System.IO.Stream with no backing store. [Edit]

public static readonly Stream Null

Remarks

Note: Stream.Null is used to redirect output to a stream that does not consume any operating system resources. When the methods of System.IO.Stream that provide writing are invoked on Stream.Null , they simply return, and no data is written. Stream.Null also implements a Stream.Read(Byte[], int, int) method that returns zero without reading data.
