Summary

Gets or sets the media source stream.

Syntax

C++

public virtual Stream SourceStream { get; set; }

Public Overridable Property SourceStream As Stream

virtual property Stream^ SourceStream { 
   Stream^ get(); 
   void set (    Stream^ ); 
}

Property Value

A System.IO.Stream object for the media source stream.

Remarks

This property allows the user to assign a Stream derived object as the media source for the conversion process. The SourceType will be set to SourceObjectType.Stream. Assignment can raise error exception. For more information, refer to the Error Codes.

Note: When setting this property, the convert control must be in the stopped state.
