System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStream.WriteAsync Method

Writes a sequence of bytes to the current stream asynchronously, advances the current position within the stream by the number of bytes written, and monitors cancellation requests.

Syntax

public override System.Threading.Tasks.Task WriteAsync (byte[] buffer, int offset, int count, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken)

Parameters

buffer
The buffer to write data from.
offset
The zero-based byte offset in buffer from which to begin writing bytes to the stream.
count
The maximum number of bytes to write.
cancellationToken
The token to monitor for cancellation requests. The default value is System.Threading.CancellationToken.None.

Returns

A task that represents the asynchronous write operation.

Remarks

You must preface your call to CryptoStream.WriteAsync(Byte[], int, int, System.Threading.CancellationToken) with the await (C#) or Await (Visual Basic) operator to suspend execution of the method until the task is complete. For more information, see Asynchronous Programming with Async and Await (C# and Visual Basic).

If the operation is canceled before it completes, the returned task contains the System.Threading.Tasks.TaskStatus.Canceled value for the System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Status property.
