This sample shows how to use the DataReader and DataWriter classes to store and retrieve data. Specifcially, this sample demonstrates the following scenarios:
- Creating a memory-backed stream by using the InMemoryRandomAccessStream class and storing strings by using a DataWriter object. When the write operation completes, a DataReader object extracts the stored strings from the stream and displays them.
- Opening a sequential-access stream over an image by using the OpenSequentialReadAsync and ReadBytes methods to retrieve and display its binary data.
Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio 2015 to build and Windows 10 to execute.
