IStreamableField.GetData Method
Returns the data stream of the field.
Namespace: Microsoft.BusinessData.Runtime
Assembly: Microsoft.BusinessData (in Microsoft.BusinessData.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Function GetData As Stream
'Usage
Dim instance As IStreamableField
Dim returnValue As Stream
returnValue = instance.GetData()
Stream GetData()
Return Value
Type: System.IO.Stream
The data stream.
Remarks
From each StreamableField, the data stream can be accessed via the GetData method, which will invoke the StreamAccessor MethodInstance with the same name as the StreamableField.
Warning
The GetData method invokes the StreamAccessor to obtain a new stream every time it is invoked. Calling this method multiple times may cause an unnecessary load in the external system.
Warning
Streams obtained via the GetData method should be closed and disposed by the caller. Streams that are not closed or disposed may leak resources.
