public:
 System::Data::Services::Client::DataServiceStreamResponse ^ GetReadStream(System::Object ^ entity);public System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceStreamResponse GetReadStream(object entity);member this.GetReadStream : obj -> System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceStreamResponsePublic Function GetReadStream (entity As Object) As DataServiceStreamResponseParameters
- entity
- Object
The entity that has the binary property to retrieve.
Returns
An instance of DataServiceStreamResponse that represents the response.
Exceptions
The entity is null.
The entity is not tracked by this DataServiceContext.
-or-
The entity is in the Added state.
-or-
The entity is not a Media Link Entry and does not have a binary property.
Remarks
The GetReadStream method synchronously requests a data stream that contains the binary property of the requested entity.
In the AtomPub protocol, the entity is a Media Link Entry and the binary property is the associated Media Resource.

-or-
The entity is not a Media Link Entry and does not have a binary property.
Remarks
The acceptContentType parameter should be a valid value for the Accept HTTP header.
The GetReadStream method synchronously requests a data stream that contains the binary property of the requested entity.
