Question

I am referring to the source code written in java and it contains InputStream and OutputStream objects throughout, i wonder if there is a way in C# to create user-predifined InputStream and Outpustream Classes ; if not the java InputStream and OutputStream objects will they have the same functionality if i treat them as a simple Stream object?

Answer 1

There is no type-level distinction between in- and out-streams in .NET. Just derive your custom class from System.IO.Stream and let the overridden properties CanRead and CanWrite return the appropriate values.
