    BeginGetDownloadStream(String,AsyncCallback,Object) Method
    In This Topic
    Begins the process of retrieving a direct access to the readonly data stream being received. Don't forget to call EndGetDownloadStream!
    Syntax
    'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function BeginGetDownloadStream( _
   ByVal remoteFilename As String, _
   ByVal callback As AsyncCallback, _
   ByVal state As Object _
) As IAsyncResult
    'Usage
 
Dim instance As AsyncFtpClient
Dim remoteFilename As String
Dim callback As AsyncCallback
Dim state As Object
Dim value As IAsyncResult
 
value = instance.BeginGetDownloadStream(remoteFilename, callback, state)
    public IAsyncResult BeginGetDownloadStream( 
   string remoteFilename,
   AsyncCallback callback,
   object state
)

    Parameters

    remoteFilename
    The filename of the file to retrieve. Some FTP servers may be case-sensitive!
    callback
    Callback method to be called when the asynchronous operation is completed.
    state
    An object containing state information for this operation.

    Return Value

    An System.IAsyncResult representing the status of the asynchronous operation.
    Remarks

    The FTP client will remain in a "ReceivingFile" state until the stream returned by EndGetDownloadStream is closed.

    Example
    AsyncFtpClient ftp = new AsyncFtpClient();
IAsyncResult result = ftp.BeginConnect( "ftp.server.com", null, null );

while( !result.IsCompleted )
  Application.DoEvents();

ftp.EndConnect( result );

result = ftp.BeginLogin( null, null );

while( !result.IsCompleted )
  Application.DoEvents();

ftp.EndLogin( result );

result = ftp.BeginGetDownloadStream( "test.txt", 0, null, null );

while( !result.IsCompleted )
  Application.DoEvents();

using( System.IO.Stream stream = ftp.EndGetDownloadStream( result ) )
{
  byte[] buffer = new byte[ 32768 ];
  int bytesRead = 0;

  // Loop until we have nothing more to read from the source stream.
  // We are assuming that the data contained in the file is text
  string data = string.Empty;
  while( ( bytesRead = stream.Read( buffer, 0, buffer.Length ) ) > 0 )
  {
    data += System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString( buffer );
  }

  System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine( data );
}
