public:
 System::Web::Services::Discovery::DiscoveryClientResultCollection ^ ReadAll(System::String ^ topLevelFilename);

public System.Web.Services.Discovery.DiscoveryClientResultCollection ReadAll (string topLevelFilename);

member this.ReadAll : string -> System.Web.Services.Discovery.DiscoveryClientResultCollection

Public Function ReadAll (topLevelFilename As String) As DiscoveryClientResultCollection

Parameters

topLevelFilename: String

Name of file to read in, containing the map of saved discovery documents.

Returns

DiscoveryClientResultCollection

A DiscoveryClientResultCollection containing the results found in the file with the map of saved discovery documents. The file format is a DiscoveryClientProtocol.DiscoveryClientResultsFile class serialized into XML; however, one would typically create the file using only the WriteAll(String, String) method or Disco.exe.

Examples

The following code example is a Web Form that populates a DataGrid with the details about the documents and references found in an existing discovery map document using the ReadAll method.

 protected void Discover_Click(object Source, EventArgs e)
 {
  // Specify the URL to read the discovery results from.
  string outputDirectory = DiscoDir.Text;

      DiscoveryClientProtocol client = new DiscoveryClientProtocol();
  // Use default credentials to access the files containing the discovery results.
      client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

      try {
        DiscoveryDocument doc;
    // Read in existing discovery results.
        DiscoveryClientResultCollection results = client.ReadAll(Path.Combine(DiscoDir.Text,"results.discomap"));
      }
      catch ( Exception e2) 
      {
        DiscoveryResultsGrid.Columns.Clear();
        Status.Text = e2.Message;
      }
  // If discovery documents existed in the supplied folder, display the results in a data grid.
      if (client.Documents.Count > 0)
      PopulateGrid(client);
}

Public Sub Discover_Click(Source As Object, e as EventArgs )
   ' Specify the URL to read the discovery results from.
   Dim outputDirectory As String = DiscoDir.Text

   Dim client as DiscoveryClientProtocol = new DiscoveryClientProtocol()
   ' Use default credentials to access files containing the previously saved discovery results.
   client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
   Try 
     Dim doc As DiscoveryDocument
  
    ' Read in existing discovery results.
     Dim results As DiscoveryClientResultCollection 
     results = client.ReadAll(Path.Combine(DiscoDir.Text,"results.discomap"))

   Catch e2 As Exception
       DiscoveryResultsGrid.Columns.Clear()
       Status.Text = e2.Message
   End Try

   ' If disocvery documents existed in the supplied folder, display the results in a data grid.
    If (client.Documents.Count > 0) Then
         ' Populate the data grid with the discovery results.
     PopulateGrid(client)
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

A file containing a map of saved discovery documents can be created by the WriteAll method or Disco.exe.

The topLevelFilename parameter must include the fully qualified path if the file does not exist in the current directory.
