Syntax

'Declaration
<CLSCompliantAttribute(False)> _
Public Function GetBytes ( _
    columnIndex As Integer _
) As Byte()

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)] 
public byte[] GetBytes (
    int columnIndex
)

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)] 
public:
array<unsigned char>^ GetBytes (
    int columnIndex
)

/** @attribute CLSCompliantAttribute(false) */ 
public byte[] GetBytes (
    int columnIndex

CLSCompliantAttribute(false) 
public function GetBytes (
    columnIndex : int
) : byte[]

Parameters

columnIndex
The index of the column.

Return Value

The array of bytes stored in the buffer column.

Remarks

The GetBytes method retrieves the array of bytes from the buffer column. If the value column is null, the PipelineBuffer produces a ColumnIsNullException. Check for null by calling the IsNull method. If you need only a subset of bytes from the column, use the GetBlobData method.
