Definition
Important

Reads the content and returns the BinHex decoded binary bytes.
public:
override int ReadContentAsBinHex(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ buffer, int index, int count);
public override int ReadContentAsBinHex (byte[] buffer, int index, int count);
override this.ReadContentAsBinHex : byte[] * int * int -> int
Public Overrides Function ReadContentAsBinHex (buffer As Byte(), index As Integer, count As Integer) As Integer
Parameters
- buffer
- Byte[]
The buffer into which to copy the resulting text. This value cannot be null
.
- index
- Int32
The offset into the buffer where to start copying the result.
- count
- Int32
The maximum number of bytes to copy into the buffer. The actual number of bytes copied is returned from this method.
Returns
The number of bytes written to the buffer.
Exceptions
The buffer
value is null
.
ReadContentAsBinHex(Byte[], Int32, Int32) is not supported on the current node.
The index into the buffer or index + count is larger than the allocated buffer size.
Remarks
Note
In the .NET Framework 2.0, the recommended practice is to create XmlReader instances using the XmlReaderSettings class and the Create method. This allows you to take full advantage of all the new features introduced in the .NET Framework. For more information, see the Remarks section in the XmlReader reference page.
This method streams the content, decodes the BinHex content, and returns the decoded binary bytes (for example, an inline BinHex encoded GIF image) into the buffer. This method can be called successively to read large streams of embedded text.
Note
You should not access any of the reader properties between calls to the ReadContentAsBinHex method until the method returns the value 0.
This method has the following behavior:
ReadContentAsBinHex returns the value 0 when it has reached the end of the byte stream it was operating on. The reader is positioned on the first non-content node.
If you ask for fewer, or the exact number, of bytes than are left in the stream the reader remains in its current position.
ReadContentAsBinHex is not supported on the following XML node types: Element, XmlDeclaration, None, Document, DocumentType, Notation, Entity, DocumentFragment.
