OracleLob.Seek(Int64, SeekOrigin) Method

Definition

Sets the position on the current OracleLob stream.

public:
 override long Seek(long offset, System::IO::SeekOrigin origin);
public override long Seek (long offset, System.IO.SeekOrigin origin);
override this.Seek : int64 * System.IO.SeekOrigin -> int64
Public Overrides Function Seek (offset As Long, origin As SeekOrigin) As Long

Parameters

offset
Int64

A byte offset relative to origin. If offset is negative, the new position precedes the position specified by origin by the number of bytes specified by offset. If offset is zero, the new position is the position specified by origin. If offset is positive, the new position follows the position specified by origin by the number of bytes specified by offset.

origin
SeekOrigin

A value of type SeekOrigin indicating the reference point used to obtain the new position.

Returns

The new position within the current stream.

Exceptions

The origin parameter does not contain a valid value.

The resulting position is beyond the length of the value.

The OracleLob object was closed or disposed.

An Oracle error has occurred.

Remarks

If offset is negative, the new position must precede the position specified by origin by the number of bytes specified by offset. If offset is zero, the new position must be the position specified by origin. If offset is positive, the new position must follow the position specified by origin by the number of bytes specified by offset.

Seeking to any location beyond the length of the stream is supported. Seeking to an odd position for CLOB and NCLOB data types is also supported. For more information, see the Remarks section of the Read property.
