VB

Copy Code

 

<DoesServiceRequestAttribute>
Public Overridable Function AppendBlockAsync (
	blockData As Stream,
	contentMD5 As String
) As Task(Of Long)

Parameters

blockData

Type: System.IO.StreamSystem.IO::Stream^System.IO.StreamSystem.IO.Stream

A Stream object that provides the data for the block.

contentMD5

Type: System.StringSystem::String^System.StringSystem.String

An optional hash value used to ensure transactional integrity for the block. May be null or an empty string.

Return Value

Type: System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Int64>System.Threading.Tasks::Task<Int64>^System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Int64>System.Threading.Tasks.Task(Of Int64)

A Task object that represents the asynchronous operation.

Remarks

Clients may send the Content-MD5 header for a given Append Block operation as a means to ensure transactional integrity over the wire. The contentMD5 parameter permits clients who already have access to a pre-computed MD5 value for a given byte range to provide it. If the P:BlobRequestOptions.UseTransactionalMd5Referenced topic's target id should not be empty. Article id: b943c0a2-7750-4f23-aa15-3c124cace28c, link: P:BlobRequestOptions.UseTransactionalMd5. property is set to true and the contentMD5 parameter is set to null, then the client library will calculate the MD5 value internally.
