Parameters

Returns

Task<ResponseMessage>

A Task containing a ResponseMessage which wraps a Stream containing the read resource record.

Examples

Read a response as a stream.

using(ResponseMessage response = await this.container.ReadItemStreamAsync("id", new PartitionKey("partitionKey")))
{
    if (!response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
    {
        //Handle and log exception
        return;
    }

    using(Stream stream = response.ReadBodyAsync())
    {
        //Read or do other operations with the stream
        using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(stream))
        {
            string content =  streamReader.ReadToEndAsync();
        }
    }
}

Remarks

https://aka.ms/cosmosdb-dot-net-exceptions#stream-api The Stream operation only throws on client side exceptions. This is to increase performance and prevent the overhead of throwing exceptions. Check the HTTP status code on the response to check if the operation failed.
