ReadBytes Method

Description

Return data from the current position as a Byte Array. Reading starts at Position.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function ReadBytes( _ Optional ByVal Count As Long = 0 _ ) As Variant

Parameters

Count: Optional. Specifies how much data is to be read.

Return Value

Byte Array.

Remarks

Some environments, such as JavaScript, do not support the passing of parameters by reference. Consequently, such methods as Receive cannot be used by passing in a String. You can use the DartStream Object to circumvent this limitation (see the ReadString method Remarks section for a Java sample).

Error Codes

This method may generate the following error code (refer to ErrorConstants for a complete list of error codes):

ptInvalidParam1
ptInvalidParam2
ptNoBufferSpace

Example

Example (Visual Basic)

Private Function ReadAll(Stream1 As DartStream) As Byte
	'Move the position to the beginning
	Stream1.Position = 0
	ReadAll = Stream1.ReadBytes
End Function
