C# Copy Stream Examples
Best ways to copy between two stream are like below. There is no special method for .NET Framework 3.5 and before. We writes a sample method using Read and Write methods in Stream class. But .NET Framework 4.0 and later, some methods are added to framework api.
///

///
public static void CopyStream(Stream input, Stream output)
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[32768];
int read;
while ((read = input.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
{
output.Write(buffer, 0, read);
}
}
From .NET 4.0 on, there’s is the Stream.CopyTo method
Stream inputStream = null;
Stream outputStream = null;
inputStream.CopyTo(outputStream);
