    /// A StreamMessage object is used to send a stream of primitive types in the 
    /// .NET programming language. It is filled and read sequentially. It inherits 
    /// from the Message interface and adds a stream message body.
    /// 
    /// The primitive types can be read or written explicitly using methods for each 
    /// type. They may also be read or written generically as objects. For instance, 
    /// a call to IStreamMessage.WriteInt32(6) is equivalent to 
    /// StreamMessage.WriteObject( (Int32)6 ). Both forms are provided, because the 
    /// explicit form is convenient for static programming, and the object form is 
    /// needed when types are not known at compile time.
    /// 
    /// When the message is first created, and when ClearBody is called, the body of 
    /// the message is in write-only mode. After the first call to reset has been made, 
    /// the message body is in read-only mode. After a message has been sent, the 
    /// client that sent it can retain and modify it without affecting the message 
    /// that has been sent. The same message object can be sent multiple times. When a 
    /// message has been received, the provider has called reset so that the message 
    /// body is in read-only mode for the client.
    /// 
    /// If ClearBody is called on a message in read-only mode, the message body is 
    /// cleared and the message body is in write-only mode.
    /// 
    /// If a client attempts to read a message in write-only mode, a 
    /// MessageNotReadableException is thrown.

    /// MessageNotWriteableException is thrown.
