Overloads

GetReadStream(Object)

Gets binary property data for the specified entity as a data stream.

GetReadStream(Object, DataServiceRequestArgs)

Gets binary property data for the specified entity as a data stream along with the specified message headers.

GetReadStream(Object, String)

public:
 System::Data::Services::Client::DataServiceStreamResponse ^ GetReadStream(System::Object ^ entity);
public System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceStreamResponse GetReadStream (object entity);
member this.GetReadStream : obj -> System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceStreamResponse
Public Function GetReadStream (entity As Object) As DataServiceStreamResponse

Parameters

entity
Object

The entity that has the binary property to retrieve.

Returns

An instance of DataServiceStreamResponse that represents the response.

Exceptions

The entity is null.

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 GetReadStream method synchronously 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.

Applies to

GetReadStream(Object, DataServiceRequestArgs)

Gets binary property data for the specified entity as a data stream along with the specified message headers.

public:
 System::Data::Services::Client::DataServiceStreamResponse ^ GetReadStream(System::Object ^ entity, System::Data::Services::Client::DataServiceRequestArgs ^ args);
public System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceStreamResponse GetReadStream (object entity, System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceRequestArgs args);
member this.GetReadStream : obj * System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceRequestArgs -> System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceStreamResponse
Public Function GetReadStream (entity As Object, args As DataServiceRequestArgs) As DataServiceStreamResponse

Parameters

entity
Object

The entity that has the binary property to retrieve.

args
DataServiceRequestArgs

Instance of DataServiceRequestArgs class that contains settings for the HTTP request message.

Returns

An instance of DataServiceStreamResponse that represents the response.

Exceptions

entity is null.

-or-

args is null.

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 GetReadStream method synchronously 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.

Applies to

GetReadStream(Object, String)

Gets binary property data for the specified entity as a data stream, with the specified Accept message header.

public:
 System::Data::Services::Client::DataServiceStreamResponse ^ GetReadStream(System::Object ^ entity, System::String ^ acceptContentType);
public System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceStreamResponse GetReadStream (object entity, string acceptContentType);
member this.GetReadStream : obj * string -> System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceStreamResponse
Public Function GetReadStream (entity As Object, acceptContentType As String) As DataServiceStreamResponse

Parameters

entity
Object

The entity that has the binary property to retrieve.

acceptContentType
String

The content type of the data requested from the data service, specified in the Accept header.

Returns

An instance of DataServiceStreamResponse that represents the response.

Exceptions

entity is null.

-or-

acceptContentType is null.

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 acceptContentType parameter should be a valid value for the Accept HTTP header.

The GetReadStream method synchronously 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 acceptContentType. Therefore, do not change this HTTP header in a way that changes the meaning of the request.
