Creates a stream to the attachment file binary data.
public Stream CreateAttachmentStream(
int attachmentNumber,
ObjectCache cache
)
attachmentNumber
1-based attachment number in this LEADDocument. This DocumentAttachments collection must contain an item with DocumentAttachment.AttachmentNumber equal to this value, otherwise an exception is thrown.
cache
Cache object to use. This is optional, see the Remarks section.
Stream to the attachment file binary data if successful; otherwise, null. The application program must close (dispose) the stream after use.
CreateAttachmentStream works as follows:
In all cases, it is the application program's responsibility to dispose the stream returned by this method.
