DbDataReader.GetStream(Int32) Method

Definition

Gets a stream to retrieve data from the specified column.

C#
public virtual System.IO.Stream GetStream(int ordinal);

Parameters

ordinal
Int32

The zero-based column ordinal.

Returns

A stream.

Exceptions

The connection was dropped or closed during the data retrieval.

-or-

The data reader is closed during the data retrieval.

-or-

There is no data ready to be read (for example, the first Read() hasn't been called, or returned false).

-or-

The data reader tried to read a previously-read column in sequential mode.

-or-

There was an asynchronous operation in progress. This applies to all Get* methods when running in sequential mode, as they could be called while reading a stream.

The column index is out of range.

The specified column isn't a binary type that supports reading with a Stream.

Remarks

GetStream only supports the retrieval of values that can be converted to byte arrays.
