CanRead Property

In This Topic

Gets a value indicating whether the MySqlBlob stream can be read.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property CanRead As Boolean

public override bool CanRead {get;}

Property Value

true if the MySqlBlob stream supports reading; false if a MySqlBlob is closed, disposed, or Null.

Remarks

Use CanRead property to determine whether MySqlBlob object supports reading. MySqlBlob can not be read from if it has Null value.

Example

csharp

void ReverseBlob()
{
  byte[] byteArray = { (byte)'A', (byte)'B', (byte)'C' };
  MySqlBlob blobFrom = new MySqlBlob(byteArray);
  //blobFrom.ToString() = "ABC"

  MySqlBlob blobTo = new MySqlBlob();
  ........
  //reverse MySqlBlob
  if (blobFrom.CanSeek && blobFrom.CanRead && blobTo.CanWrite)
    for (blobFrom.Seek(-1, System.IO.SeekOrigin.End); ;blobFrom.Position -= 2)
    {
      blobTo.WriteByte((byte)blobFrom.ReadByte());
      if (blobFrom.Position == 1) break;
    }
  //blobTo.ToString() = "CBA";
}

Visual Basic

Private Sub ReverseBlob()
  Dim byteArray As Byte() = New Byte() {AscW("A"c), AscW("B"c), AscW("C"c)}
  Dim blobFrom As New MySqlBlob(byteArray)
  ' blobFrom.ToString() = "ABC"

  Dim blobTo As New MySqlBlob
  ......
  ' reverse MySqlBlob
  If ((blobFrom.CanSeek AndAlso blobFrom.CanRead) AndAlso blobTo.CanWrite) Then
    blobFrom.Seek(CLng(-1), System.IO.SeekOrigin.End)
    Do While True
      blobTo.WriteByte(CByte(blobFrom.ReadByte))
      If (blobFrom.Position = 1) Then
        Return
      End If
      blobFrom.Position = blobFrom.Position - 2
    Loop
  End If
  ' blobTo.ToString() = "CBA";
End Sub
