Parameters

buffer

A byte array to store data read from the stream. [Edit]

offset

A int containing the zero-based position in buffer at which to begin storing the data. [Edit]

size

A int containing the number of bytes to read. [Edit]

Returns

A int containing the number of bytes read from the stream. [Edit]

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentNullException	buffer is null. [Edit]
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	offset < 0. -or- offset > buffer.Length. -or- size < 0. -or- size > buffer.Length - offset. [Edit]
System.IO.IOException	Note: This method catches all exceptions thrown by the Socket.Receive(Byte[], int, SocketFlags) method. [Edit]
ObjectDisposedException	The current instance has been disposed. [Edit]

Remarks

When no incoming data is available, this method blocks and waits for data to arrive.

If the remote socket was shut down gracefully (Socket.Shutdown(SocketShutdown) was called on the socket or the SocketOptionName.Linger option was enabled and Socket.Close was called on the socket) and all data was received, this method immediately returns zero.

Note:

This method overrides System.IO.Stream.Read(Byte[], int, int).
