Starting in .NET 6, when `Stream.Read` or `Stream.ReadAsync` is called on one of the affected stream types with a buffer of length `N`, the operation completes when:

- At least 1 byte has been read from the stream, or
- The underlying stream they wrap returns 0 from a call to its read, indicating no more data is available.
- The underlying stream returns 0 from a call to its read, indicating no more data is available.

Also, when `Stream.Read` or `Stream.ReadAsync` is called with a buffer of length 0, the operation succeeds once a call with a nonzero buffer would succeed.

# CA1872: Prefer 'Convert.ToHexString' and 'Convert.ToHexStringLower' over call chains based on 'BitConverter.ToString'

| | Value |
| ----------------------------------- |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Rule ID** | CA1872 |
| **Title** | Prefer 'Convert.ToHexString' and 'Convert.ToHexStringLower' over call chains based on 'BitConverter.ToString' |
| **Category** | [Performance](performance-warnings.md) |
| **Fix is breaking or non-breaking** | Non-breaking |
| **Enabled by default in .NET 9** | As suggestion |

## Cause

A call to <xref:System.BitConverter.ToString%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> followed by a call to <xref:System.String.Replace%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> to remove dashes is used to encode bytes to a hexadecimal string representation.
This rule also fires if <xref:System.String.ToLower%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> is used in the call chain.

## Rule description

Use <xref:System.Convert.ToHexString%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> or <xref:System.Convert.ToHexStringLower%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> when encoding bytes to a hexadecimal string representation. These methods are more efficient and allocation-friendly than using <xref:System.BitConverter.ToString%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> in combination with <xref:System.String.Replace%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> to remove dashes and <xref:System.String.ToLower%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>.

## How to fix violations

To fix a violation of this rule, replace the call chain with either <xref:System.Convert.ToHexString%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> or <xref:System.Convert.ToHexStringLower%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>.

## Example

The following code snippet shows a violation of CA1872:

```csharp
using System;
using System.Text;

class HelloWorldEncoder
{
private readonly byte[] _data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Hello World");

public string Encode()
{
return BitConverter.ToString(_data).Replace("-", "");
}

public string EncodeToLower()
{
return BitConverter.ToString(_data).Replace("-", "").ToLower();
}
}
```

```vb
Imports System
Imports System.Text

Class HelloWorldEncoder
Private ReadOnly _data As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Hello World")

Public Function Encode() As String
Return BitConverter.ToString(_data).Replace("-", "")
End Function

Public Function EncodeToLower() As String
Return BitConverter.ToString(_data).Replace("-", "").ToLower()
End Function
End Class
```

The following code snippet fixes the violation:

```csharp
using System;
using System.Text;

class HelloWorldEncoder
{
private readonly byte[] _data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Hello World");

public string Encode()
{
return Convert.ToHexString(data);
}

public string EncodeToLower()
{
return Convert.ToHexStringLower(data);
}
}
```

```vb
Imports System
Imports System.Text

Class HelloWorldEncoder
Private ReadOnly _data As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Hello World")

Public Function Encode() As String
Return Convert.ToHexString(data)
End Function

Public Function EncodeToLower() As String
Return Convert.ToHexStringLower(data)
End Function
End Class
```

## When to suppress warnings

It is safe to suppress a warning from this rule; however, we recommend that you use either <xref:System.Convert.ToHexString%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> or <xref:System.Convert.ToHexStringLower%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType>.

## Suppress a warning

If you just want to suppress a single violation, add preprocessor directives to your source file to disable and then re-enable the rule.

```csharp
#pragma warning disable CA1872
// The code that's violating the rule is on this line.
#pragma warning restore CA1872
```

To disable the rule for a file, folder, or project, set its severity to `none` in the [configuration file](../configuration-files.md).

```ini
[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_diagnostic.CA1872.severity = none
```
