CArchive::Read

Syntax

UINT Read( void FAR* lpBuf, UINT nMax )
throw( CFileException );

Parameters

lpBuf

A FAR pointer to a user-supplied buffer that is to receive the data read from the archive.

nMax

An unsigned integer specifying the number of bytes to be read from the archive.

Remarks

Reads a specified number of bytes from the archive. The archive does not interpret the bytes.

You can use the Read member function within your Serialize function for reading ordinary structures that are contained in your objects.

Return Value

An unsigned integer containing the number of bytes actually read. If the return value is less than the number requested, the end of file has been reached. No exception is thrown on the end-of-file condition.

Example

extern CArchive ar;

char pb[100];

UINT nr = ar.Read( pb, 100 );
