Reuse MemoryStream?

[Drew]

I've created a new MemoryStream object that takes a byte array but
I thought it would be a good idea to reuse it instead
of creating a bunch of new ones.

How do I sorta clear it out and reuse it with a different byte array?

Should I call flush() and then write()?

Did you try MemoryStream.Seek to just set back to origin?

No - that wouldn't reset it. Personally I'd just create a new one each
time.

Hello:

I've created a new MemoryStream object that takes a byte array but

Try this:

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();

...

ms.SetLength(0);
ms.Position = 0;

Hope this helps.
