GetDecodedContentStream Method

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Returns an ADO Stream object containing the body part content in decoded format.

[Visual Basic]
Function GetDecodedContentStream( ) as ADODB.Stream
[C++]
HRESULT GetDecodedContentStream( _Stream** pVal);
[IDL]
HRESULT GetDecodedContentStream([out,retval] _Stream** pVal);

Remarks

CDO uses the current value of the ContentTransferEncoding property and the MIMEFormatted property to determine which encoding mechanism to use to decode or encode the contents of the implementing object. It is the programmer's responsibility to have the appropriate value set in ContentTransferEncoding.

The Stream object returned contains a read/write copy of the current (decoded) contents of the object implementing IBodyPart. If you modify the contents within the returned Stream object, you must call the Flush method to commit the changes back into the object.

The GetDecodedContentStream method return an error if called on an object that has Content-Type header field type set to "multipart."

To obtain the encoded content, use the GetEncodedContentStream method.

Example

Dim iMsg as New CDO.Message
Dim iBp as CDO.IBodyPart
Set iBp = iMsg.BodyPart.AddBodyPart
Dim Strm as ADODB.Stream
Set Strm = iBp.GetDecodedContentStream
Strm.WriteText "This is some text for the body part"
Strm.Flush
' add more body parts, etc
...
iMsg.Send
