Parameters

• entity
  Type: System.Object
  The entity to which the data stream belongs.

• stream
  Type: System.IO.Stream
  The Stream from which to read the binary data.

• closeStream
  Type: System.Boolean
  A Boolean value that determines whether the data stream is closed when the SaveChanges method is completed.

• contentType
  Type: System.String
  The Content-Type header value for the request message.

• slug
  Type: System.String
  The Slug header value for the request message.

Exceptions

Remarks

The SetSaveStream method sets the binary stream that is the Media Resource that belongs to the entity, which is called a Media Link Entry.

Calling the SetSaveStream method marks the entity as Media Link Entry. The entity state is also set to Modified so that the stream will be sent to the data service the next time that the SaveChanges method is called.

The SetSaveStream method reads the Stream through to the end. A Seek operation is not tried on the Stream.

When closeStream is true, the SaveChanges method closes the stream before it returns. The stream is closed even when an error occurs and the stream is not read.

When the entity has the MediaEntryAttribute applied, the Media Resource cannot be a data stream. Remove this attribute before you try to set the data stream for the entity.

No validation is performed on the headers that are set in contentType and slug. Therefore, do not change these HTTP headers in a way that changes the meaning of the request.
