Closing a Stream

The stream should be closed after being used in any mode in order to release the lock.

To utilize the API, include the following namespace in your application: Alachisoft.NCache.Web.Caching.

string key = "key:ncache-guide";
try
{
    CacheStream cacheStream = cache.GetCacheStream(key, StreamMode.Read);
    int dataSize = Convert.ToInt32(cacheStream.Length);
    byte[] dataToRead = newbyte[dataSize];

    cacheStream.Read(dataToRead, 0, dataSize);

    // your logic here
    cacheStream.Close();
}
catch (StreamException e)
{
    // handle exception
}

Reading or writing a stream that was previously in use throws exception i.e. StreamAlreadyLockedException, if it was not closed properly.
