| Description |
Normally, you would allow the callback method of an asynchronous read to be called. If you need to wait until this happens in the main thread of operation, then call EndRead.
The AsynResult parameter should be supplied with the value returned by the BeginRead you want to wait for.
It will return the number of bytes read, unless the stream end was reached.
