Parameters

offset

The byte at which to start the view.

size

The size of the view. Specify 0 (zero) to create a view that starts at offset and ends approximately at the end of the memory-mapped file.

access

One of the enumeration values that specifies the type of access allowed to the memory-mapped file. The default is MemoryMappedFileAccess.ReadWrite.

Returns

A randomly accessible block of memory.

Remarks

You can use the view returned by this method for random access to a memory-mapped file.

To create a complete view of the memory-mapped file, specify 0 (zero) for the size parameter. If you do this, the size of the view might be smaller or larger than the size of the source file on disk. This is because views are provided in units of system pages, and the size of the view is rounded up to the next system page size.
