Deployment Tools Foundation GetStream Method (fieldName, filePath)

Reads a record stream field into a file.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public void GetStream(
	string fieldName,
	string filePath
)

Public Sub GetStream ( 
	fieldName As String,
	filePath As String
)

public:
void GetStream(
	String^ fieldName, 
	String^ filePath
)

Parameters

fieldName (String): Specifies the field of the Record to get.

filePath (String): Specifies the path to the file to contain the stream.

Remarks

This method is capable of directly extracting substorages. To do so, first select both the `Name` and `Data` column of the `_Storages` table, then get the stream of the `Data` field. However, substorages may only be extracted from a database that is open in read-only mode.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The field name does not match any of the named fields in the Record.
NotSupportedException	Attempt to extract a storage from a database open in read-write mode, or from a database without an associated file path
