ExtractAttachment(Stream,int,Stream) Method

Summary

Extracts an attachment from an owner's file stored in a stream, and saves it to an output stream.

Syntax

C++/CLI

Python

public void ExtractAttachment( 
   Stream stream, 
   int attachmentNumber, 
   Stream outputtStream 
)

public:  
   void ExtractAttachment( 
      Stream^ stream, 
      Int32 attachmentNumber, 
      Stream^ outputtStream 
   )

def ExtractAttachment(self,stream,attachmentNumber,outputtStream):

Parameters

stream

Stream containing the data of the owner's file.

attachmentNumber

1-based attachment number to extract. This value must be between 1 and the number of attachments in the file.

outputtStream

Stream that will contain the attachment file's data.

CodecsImageInfo.AttachmentCount can be used to quickly determine the number of attachments found in a file.

ReadAttachments can be used to obtain the number and properties of all attachments found a file.
