C++

public void DownloadFile(  
   Uri sourceUri, 
   string destinationFileName 
)

Public Sub DownloadFile( _ 
   ByVal sourceUri As Uri, _ 
   ByVal destinationFileName As String _ 
)

public: 
void DownloadFile(  
   Uri^ sourceUri, 
   String^ destinationFileName 
)

Parameters

sourceUri
The full URI for the source item in the SharePoint server. This value cannot be null (Nothing in VB). It must be the URI to a valid SharePoint item, for example http://server/Shared Documents/File.ext.

destinationFileName
The destination file name to download the item to. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten. This value cannot be null (Nothing in VB).

Remarks

This method will not return until the item is finished downloading to disk. If an error occurs, this method will throw an exception.

To download a file asynchronously, use the DownloadFileAsync method.

To download an item to a stream, use the GetDownloadStream or GetDownloadStreamAsync method.

To upload an item to SharePoint, use the UploadFile, UploadFileAsync, UploadStream or UploadStreamAsync method.

Example

This example will download a document at the specified SharePoint URI into a disk file and then get the image information using Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs.
