When overridden in a derived class, gets or sets the position within the current stream.
Syntax
public abstract long Position { get; set; }
Value
A long that specifies the current position within the stream.
Exceptions
Type Reason System.IO.IOException An I/O error has occurred. NotSupportedException The stream does not support seeking. ObjectDisposedException The stream is closed.
Remarks
The stream must support seeking to get or set the position. Use the Stream.CanSeek property to determine whether the stream supports seeking.
Seeking to any location beyond the length of the stream is supported.
The Position property does not keep track of the number of bytes from the stream that have been consumed, skipped, or both.
