   ByVal userData As Object, _

   ByVal overwrite As Boolean _

) As Stream

'Usage
 
Dim instance As AbstractFile

Dim events As FileSystemEvents

Dim userData As Object

Dim overwrite As Boolean

Dim value As Stream

 

value = instance.OpenWrite(events, userData, overwrite)

public Stream OpenWrite( 

   FileSystemEvents events,

   object userData,

   bool overwrite

)

Parameters

events

A FileSystemEvents object that will be used to raise events. Cannot be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

userData

Opaque data that will be passed back to the event handler when an event is raised.

overwrite

true if existing data for the item should be replaced; false if existing data should be preserved, appending new data at the end.

Return Value

The returned stream is guaranteed to be writable, but may or may not be seekable.

The file will be opened with System.IO.FileShare.None shared access.

If the file does not exist, the CreateWrite method should be used to retrieve the stream rather than OpenWrite.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
