Position Property (MySqlBlob)

In This Topic

Gets the current read position in the MySqlBlob stream.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Property Position As Long

public override long Position {get; set;}

Property Value

The current position within the MySqlBlob stream.

Remarks

The stream must support seeking to get or set the position. Use the CanSeek property to determine whether the stream supports seeking.

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
