Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class StreamResourceInfo

public class StreamResourceInfo

The StreamResourceInfo type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	StreamResourceInfo	Initializes a new instance of the StreamResourceInfo class.

Top

Properties

	Name	Description
	ContentType	Gets the MIME type of the content in the stream.
	Stream	Gets the stream that is contained by the resource.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

The StreamResourceInfo class is not just for pure application model scenarios. You can use a StreamResourceInfo to process a stream that happens to be a package (a XAP or ZIP file). This is useful if you have returned an asynchronous stream result from a WebClient request and the returned stream is really a package that contains multiple parts. To get at these parts, you must request each of the parts as a URI that you specify in the GetResourceStream call, with the initial package specified as the StreamResourceInfo for the zipPackageStreamResourceInfo parameter.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use this class.
