CanRead Property (PgSqlBlob)

In This Topic

Gets a value indicating whether the PgSqlBlob 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 PgSqlBlob stream supports reading; false if a PgSqlBlob is closed, disposed, or Null.

Remarks

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

Example

csharp

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

  PgSqlBlob blobTo = new PgSqlBlob();
  ........
  //reverse PgSqlBlob
  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 PgSqlBlob(byteArray)
  ' blobFrom.ToString() = "ABC"

  Dim blobTo As New PgSqlBlob
  ......
  ' reverse PgSqlBlob
  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
