Class ByteBuffer
A buffer for bytes.
A byte buffer can be created in either one of the following ways:
- Allocate(Int32) a new byte array and create a buffer based on it
 - AllocateDirect(Int32) a memory block and create a direct buffer based on it
 - Wrap(Byte[]) an existing byte array to create a new buffer

AsInt64Buffer()
Returns a long buffer which is based on the remaining content of this byte buffer.
The new buffer's position is zero, its limit and capacity is the number of remaining bytes divided by eight, and its mark is not set. The new buffer's read-only property and byte order are the same as this buffer's. The new buffer is direct if this byte buffer is direct.
The new buffer shares its content with this buffer, which means either buffer's change of content will be visible to the other. The two buffer's position, limit and mark are independent.
Declaration
public abstract Int64Buffer AsInt64Buffer()
  Returns
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
| Int64Buffer | a long buffer which is based on the content of this byte buffer.  | 
      
AsReadOnlyBuffer()
Returns a read-only buffer that shares its content with this buffer.
The returned buffer is guaranteed to be a new instance, even if this buffer is read-only itself. The new buffer's position, limit, capacity and mark are the same as this buffer.
The new buffer shares its content with this buffer, which means this buffer's change of content will be visible to the new buffer. The two buffer's position, limit and mark are independent.
Declaration
public abstract ByteBuffer AsReadOnlyBuffer()
  Returns
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
| ByteBuffer | a read-only version of this buffer.  | 
      
Compact()
Compacts this byte buffer.
The remaining bytes will be moved to the head of the buffer, starting from position zero. Then the position is set to Remaining; the limit is set to capacity; the mark is cleared.
Declaration
public abstract ByteBuffer Compact()
  Returns
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
| ByteBuffer | this buffer.  | 
      
Exceptions
| Type | Condition | 
|---|---|
| ReadOnlyBufferException | if no changes may be made to the contents of this buffer.  | 
      
CompareTo(ByteBuffer)
Compares the remaining bytes of this buffer to another byte buffer's remaining bytes.
Declaration

Duplicate()
Returns a duplicated buffer that shares its content with this buffer.
The duplicated buffer's position, limit, capacity and mark are the same as this buffer's. The duplicated buffer's read-only property and byte order are the same as this buffer's too.
The new buffer shares its content with this buffer, which means either buffer's change of content will be visible to the other. The two buffer's position, limit and mark are independent.
Declaration
public abstract ByteBuffer Duplicate()
  Returns
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
| ByteBuffer | a duplicated buffer that shares its content with this buffer.  | 
      
Equals(Object)

If other is not a byte buffer then false is returned. Two
byte buffers are equal if and only if their remaining bytes are exactly
the same. Position, limit, capacity and mark are not considered.

|---|---|---|
| System.Int32 | index | the index, must not be negative and equal or less than   | 
      
| System.Single | value | the System.Single to write.  | 
      
Returns
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
| ByteBuffer | 
Exceptions
| Type | Condition | 
|---|---|
| System.IndexOutOfRangeException | if   | 
      
| ReadOnlyBufferException | if no changes may be made to the contents of this buffer.  | 
      
PutSingle(Single)
Writes the given System.Single to the current position and increases the position by 4.
The System.Single is converted to bytes using the current byte order.
NOTE: This was putSingle() in the JDK
Declaration
public abstract ByteBuffer PutSingle(float value)
  Parameters
| Type | Name | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| System.Single | value | the System.Single to write.  | 
      
Returns
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
| ByteBuffer | this buffer.  | 
      
Exceptions
| Type | Condition | 
|---|---|
| BufferOverflowException | if position is greater than   | 
      
| ReadOnlyBufferException | if no changes may be made to the contents of this buffer.  | 
      
SetOrder(ByteOrder)
Sets the byte order of this buffer.
Declaration
public ByteBuffer SetOrder(ByteOrder byteOrder)
  Parameters
| Type | Name | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| ByteOrder | byteOrder | the byte order to set.  | 
      
Returns
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
| ByteBuffer | this buffer.  | 
      
Slice()
Returns a sliced buffer that shares its content with this buffer.
The sliced buffer's capacity will be this buffer's Remaining, and it's zero position will correspond to this buffer's current position. The new buffer's position will be 0, limit will be its capacity, and its mark is cleared. The new buffer's read-only property and byte order are the same as this buffer's.
The new buffer shares its content with this buffer, which means either buffer's change of content will be visible to the other. The two buffer's position, limit and mark are independent.
Declaration
public abstract ByteBuffer Slice()
  Returns
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
| ByteBuffer | A sliced buffer that shares its content with this buffer.  | 
      
ToString()
Returns a string representing the state of this byte buffer.
Declaration
public override string ToString()
  Returns
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
| System.String | A string representing the state of this byte buffer.  | 
      
Overrides
Wrap(Byte[])
Creates a new byte buffer by wrapping the given byte array.
Calling this method has the same effect as
Wrap(array, 0, array.Length).
Declaration
public static ByteBuffer Wrap(byte[] array)
  Parameters
| Type | Name | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| System.Byte[] | array | The byte array which the new buffer will be based on  | 
      
Returns
| Type | Description | 
|---|---|
| ByteBuffer | The new byte buffer  | 
      
Wrap(Byte[], Int32, Int32)
Creates a new byte buffer by wrapping the given byte array.
The new buffer's position will be start, limit will be
start + len, capacity will be the length of the array.
Declaration
public static ByteBuffer Wrap(byte[] array, int start, int length)
  Parameters
