TryReadByte Method

TryReadByte(out Byte, Int32)

Try to read the TLV at the current position. If this succeeds, return true and set the value argument to the byte that is the V part of the TLV, and move the position to the byte beyond the current TLV.

C#

public bool TryReadByte(out byte value, int expectedTag)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Byte	value	The output parameter where the value will be deposited.
System.Int32	expectedTag	The tag that should be at the current position.

Returns

System.Boolean

A boolean, true if the read succeeds, false otherwise.

Remarks

This is the same as ReadByte, except this method will not throw an exception if there is an error in reading, only return false. That is, if the expected tag is not found at the current position, or the length octets are not a valid encoding, or the value is not a single byte, or there is not enough data in the buffer for the length given, this method will set value to 0 and will return false.

See the documentation for ReadByte for more information on what this method does.

Note that if there is a valid TLV with the expected tag, but the length is not 1, this method will return false.
