DownloadFileAsync Method

Summary

Downloads an item asynchronously from a SharePoint server to a disk.

Syntax

C++

public void DownloadFileAsync(  
   Uri sourceUri, 
   string destinationFileName, 
   object userState 
)

Public Sub DownloadFileAsync( _ 
   ByVal sourceUri As Uri, _ 
   ByVal destinationFileName As String, _ 
   ByVal userState As Object _ 
)

public: 
void DownloadFileAsync(  
   Uri^ sourceUri, 
   String^ destinationFileName, 
   Object^ userState 
)

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).

userState
The optional user-supplied state object that is used to identify the task that raised the DownloadCompleted event.

Remarks

This method will return control immediately to your program and the DownloadCompleted event will occur when the download operation is completed (whether or not the operation is successful).

To download a file synchronously, use the DownloadFile 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 asynchronously at the specified SharePoint URI into a disk file and then get the image information using Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs.
