Devart.Data.PostgreSql Namespace / PgSqlBlob Class / Position Property
Example

Position Property (PgSqlBlob)
Gets the current read position in the PgSqlBlob stream.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Property Position As Long
 

Property Value

The current position within the PgSqlBlob 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
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";
}
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
