LocalFile Property

The path to a local file for uploading or downloading blob data. When downloading, if the file exists it is overwritten (optional).

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Property LocalFile As String

[C#]
public string LocalFile {get; set;}

Remarks

This property is used when retrieving a blob via GetBlob or when creating a blob via CreateBlob.

When GetBlob is called and LocalFile is set to a valid path, the retrieved blob data will be written directly to the specified file. If the file already exists, Overwrite will determine if the file gets overwritten.

When CreateBlob is called and LocalFile is set to a valid path, the specified file will be used to create the blob.

If LocalFile is an empty string, all data either to be sent or received is provided via the BlobData property.

Alternatively, streams can be used to upload and download blob data by using SetUploadStream and SetDownloadStream, respectively. When a valid stream is specified, all data will be retrieved from (when calling CreateBlob) or written to (when calling GetBlob) the specified stream.

Default Value

""
