System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Available Property

public int Available { get; }

Value

Remarks

This property is read-only.

When the current instance is stream-oriented (for example, the SocketType.Stream socket type), the available data is generally the total amount of data queued on the current instance.

When the current instance is message-oriented (for example, the SocketType.Dgram socket type), the available data is the first message in the input queue.
