Exception

Condition

ArgumentNullException

Any of the parameters supplied to the method is null.

ArgumentException

The entity is not tracked by this DataServiceContext.

-or-

The entity is in the Added state.

-or-

The entity is not a Media Link Entry and does not have a binary property.

Remarks

The BeginGetReadStream method asynchronously requests a data stream that contains the binary property of the requested entity.

In the AtomPub protocol, the entity is a Media Link Entry and the binary property is the associated Media Resource.

No validation is performed on the headers that are set in args. Therefore, do not change an HTTP header in a way that changes the meaning of the request.
