Examples

The following example downloads the following image file from the "My Pictures" picture library: http://MyServer/sites/mynewsite/MyPictures/1/Red Figure2.gif.

Note

This code assumes that the site and picture library already exist, and that you have permissions on the server. If the site and the picture library do not exist, see the second example.

Dim imgws As New Web_Reference.Imaging()
imgws.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
imgws.Url = "http://MyServer/sites/mynewsite/_vti_bin/imaging.asmx"
Dim resdoc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument()
Dim resnode As System.Xml.XmlNode = 
    resdoc.CreateNode(System.Xml.XmlNodeType.Element, "Result", "")
Dim a(0) As String
a(0) = "Red Figure2.gif"
resnode = imgws.Download("My Pictures", "1", a, 0, True)
MessageBox.Show(resnode.ChildNodes(0).InnerText)
Web_Reference.Imaging imgws = new Web_Reference.Imaging();
imgws.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
imgws.Url = "http://MyServer/sites/mynewsite/_vti_bin/imaging.asmx";
System.Xml.XmlDocument resdoc= new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
System.Xml.XmlNode resnode = 
    resdoc.CreateNode(System.Xml.XmlNodeType.Element,"Result","");
String[] a = new String[1];
a[0]="Red Figure2.gif";
resnode = imgws.Download("My Pictures","1",a,0,true);
MessageBox.Show(resnode.ChildNodes[0].InnerText);

This example shows how to create the site and picture library, and add the image "Red Figure2.gif" required in the preceding example.

Note

You must be a member of the Administrators site group on the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services server to be able to add a reference to the Admin Web service and to perform the required actions.
