GetVCardStream Method

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Returns an ADO Stream object containing VCard stream information about the contact.

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

pVal[C++,IDL]

If the method succeeds, then on return, the address passed holds a reference to the _Stream interface.

Remarks

Use this method to share contact information with other PIM or contact applications that can parse VCard content.

Example

Dim oPer as New CDO.Person
Dim strm as New ADODB.Stream

'assume strURL is a valid URL to a person contact item
oPer.DataSource.Open strURL

'you can set the ADO Stream object to the returned VCard stream
Set strm = oPer.GetVCardStream

'save the stream to a file
strm.SaveToFile "d:\vcard.txt", adSaveCreateOverwrite

'you don't have to set a Stream object,
'just use the Stream methods off GetVCardStrem directly
oPer.GetVcardStream.SaveToFile "d:\vcard.txt", adSaveCreateOverwrite
