Example

In This Topic
    Position Property (PgSqlBlob)
    In This Topic
    Gets the current read position in the PgSqlBlob stream.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Overrides Property Position As Long
    public override long Position {get; set;}

    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
