IsExternal

Gets a value indicating whether this content is linked to the presentation file.

public bool IsExternal { get; }
Public ReadOnly Property IsExternal As Boolean
Property Value

true if this content is linked to the presentation file; otherwise, false.

Link

Gets the location of the content that is not embedded in the presentation file.

public string Link { get; }
Public ReadOnly Property Link As String
Property Value
System.String

The location of the content that does not reside within the presentation file.

Methods

Open()

Opens the content as a System.IO.Stream.

Make sure to call System.IO.Stream.Dispose on the returned instance after it is no longer used and before it gets out of scope.

public Stream Open()
Public Function Open As Stream
Returns
System.IO.Stream

An instance of a System.IO.Stream type that represents content data.

Remarks

If content is linked to the presentation file (Link property is not null), this method will attempt to open an external content. This operation might fail if the Link value is not in the correct format or if executing code doesn't have permissions to access content at the location specified in the Link value.

ToString()

Returns a System.String that represents this Content instance.

public override string ToString()
Public Overrides Function ToString As String
Returns
System.String

A System.String that represents this Content instance.

Overrides
System.Object.ToString()
Remarks

This method should be used primarily for debugging purposes and should be considered volatile (format of its return value might change in future versions).
