How to clear MemoryStream ?

[Saikek]

Greetings Comrades, Does anybody knows how to clear Stream?

Stream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
...
memoryStream.Flush() - does nothing
memoryStream.SetLength(0) - calls AccessViolationException ("memory is corrupt")

Any help will be just fine. Thanks!!!

you close and dispose it.

Did you use this :

memoryStream.Dispose();

[Saikek]

But in this case am I able to continue using MemoryStream ?

Nope. The only way to clear it out is to Seek to position 0 and write 0's to every known position. Depending on the size of the Stream, it's porobably going to be faster, or at least easier, to just kill the existing stream and create a new one.

Try this out

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
.......
......

ms.SetLength(0);
ms.Position = 0;

Hope this Works!!! :)
