Interface INCStorage

The auxiliary object that contains the output files data and additional implements two important things:

writing into an arbitrary file location;
mapping between written data and CLDATA commands, when processing which these data were written.

Usually you don't need to use this object by yourself directly. It is used internally by classes as TTextNCFile and TBinaryNCFile.

Namespace: DotnetPostprocessing.SDK

Assembly: DotnetPostprocessing.SDK.dll

Methods

AddLabel(INCLabel, int)

Creates a new label of type INCLabel that offsets from another label, passed as a parameter, to specified count of bytes.

Declaration

INCLabel AddLabel(INCLabel label, int byteOffset)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
INCLabel	label	The label relative to which the new label should be created.
int	byteOffset	The count of bytes the new label should offset from the specified label.

Returns

Type	Description
INCLabel	Returns the new label.

Flush()

Writes the cashed in memory data to a temporary file on a hard drive.

Declaration

void Flush()

RemoveLabel(INCLabel)

Removes the specified label from the storage.

Declaration

void RemoveLabel(INCLabel label)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
INCLabel	label

SaveToFile(string, Encoding)

Writes content of this storage to an external file with the specified name. For a textual storage you should also specify desired chars encoding. If there is no encoding specified for textual storage then data will be written using UTF16 encoding without preamble (byte order mark).

Declaration

void SaveToFile(string FileName, Encoding encoding)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	FileName	The name of the file to which you want to write the data of this storage. If the directory of new file does not exist then it will be created. If a file with the name already exists then it will be overwritten.
