 Public Function NewMemoryStream(
	  ByRef Buffer ( ) As Byte,
	  Optional ByRef Index As Variant,
	  Optional ByRef Count As Variant,
	  Optional ByVal Writable As Boolean = True,
	  Optional ByVal Mode As BufferMode = ShareMode ) As MemoryStream

Parameters

Buffer

[ByRef] Byte. The array of bytes from which to create this stream.

Index

[ByRef] Optional. Variant. The index in Buffer at which the stream begins. The default is lower bound of Buffer.

Count

[ByRef] Optional. Variant. The length of the stream in bytes. The default is Buffer length.

Writable

[ByVal] Optional. Boolean. The setting of the CanWrite property, which determines whether the stream supports writing.  

Default: True

Mode

[ByVal] Optional. BufferMode. A BufferMode value specifying how Buffer is handled internally.  

Default: ShareMode

Return Values

Remarks

The CanRead and CanSeek properties are both set to True. Capacity is set to Count.

The length of the stream cannot be set to a value greater than the initial length of the specified byte array; however, the stream can be truncated (see SetLength).
