MifareClassic.ReadBlockAsync(Int32) Method

Definition

Reads a 16-byte block from the tag on a thread-pool thread.

public System.Threading.Tasks.Task<byte[]?> ReadBlockAsync(int blockIndex);
member this.ReadBlockAsync : int -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<byte[]>

Parameters

blockIndex
Int32

The zero-based index of the block to read, from 0 through 255. The block must be available on the tag.

Returns

Task<Byte[]>

A task whose result contains the 16 bytes read from the block.

Remarks

This managed wrapper uses Task.Run to call ReadBlock(Int32). Connect and authenticate the block's sector first. Await the task before starting another operation.

The synchronous method's connection, access, and NFC permission requirements apply. The method has no cancellation-token parameter. Calling Close() from another thread cancels blocked I/O with IOException. Exceptions from the synchronous call are reported through the task.
