DownloadDocument(DownloadDocumentOptions) Method

Summary

Downloads the data of the specified document ID.

Syntax

C++/CLI

Python

public static long DownloadDocument( 
   DownloadDocumentOptions options 
)

public:  
   static Int64 DownloadDocument( 
      DownloadDocumentOptions^ options 
   )

def DownloadDocument(self,options):

Parameters

options

Options containing the document properties and download options to use. This value must not be null.

Return Value

The total number of bytes read into DownloadDocumentOptions.Data or DownloadDocumentOptions.Stream. This can be less than the number of bytes requested by DownloadDocumentOptions.Length, if that many bytes are not currently available, or zero (0) if the end of the data has been reached.

Remarks

Similar to UploadDocument, data can be downloaded in chunks or all at once. Refer to Uploading Using the Document Library for detailed information on how to use these methods and the various options used.

GetDocumentCacheInfo can be used to determine if a document is in the cache and to get its information.

DownloadAnnotations can be used to download the annotations of a document (if any).

Example

This example will show how to download the data of a document stored in the cache into a stream all at once and then buffer array using chunks.
