C# Sample

 

//retrieve document with docno 12345

TheDocument theDoc = new TheDocument();

theDoc.Retrieve(12345, "", server);

 

System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.IStream theStream = (System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.IStream)theDoc.GetStream(0); //get first stream

Stream outStream = new MemoryStream(); //output

 

int cb = 4096; //block size

byte[] buffer = new byte[cb]; //buffer in block size

int read = 0; //read bytes

 

do

{

    IntPtr bytesRead = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(int))); //get COM memory for saving read bytes

    try

    {

        theStream.Read(buffer, cb, bytesRead);  //read block

        read = Marshal.ReadInt32(bytesRead);    //obtain amount of data read

    }

    finally

    {

        Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(bytesRead);  //always clear COM memory (its not cleared in GC)

    }

 

    outStream.Write(buffer, 0, (int)read);  //write buffer to out stream

} while (read > 0); //continue till something can be read

 

//do something with outStream
