Syntax

'Declaration

Public Function GetBytes ( _
    columnIndex As Integer _
) As Byte()
'Usage
Dim instance As PipelineBuffer 
Dim columnIndex As Integer

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public byte[] GetBytes(
    int columnIndex
)
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public:

member GetBytes : 
        columnIndex:int -> byte[] 
public function GetBytes(

) : byte[]

Parameters

Return Value

Type: array<System.Byte[]
The array of bytes stored in the buffer column.

Remarks

The GetBytes method retrieves the array of bytes from the buffer column.

This method works with the DT_BYTES data type in Integration Services.

If the value column is null, the PipelineBuffer produces a ColumnIsNullException. Check for null by calling the IsNull method.

For a complete list of Integration Services data types and the corresponding Get and Set methods of the PipelineBuffer class to use with each type, see Working with Data Types in the Data Flow.
