CloudPageBlob.OpenReadAsync Method (AccessCondition, BlobRequestOptions, OperationContext, CancellationToken)
Initiates an asynchronous operation to open a stream for reading from the blob.
Namespace: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob
Assembly: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage (in Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.dll)
Syntax

Public Function OpenReadAsync ( _

CancellationToken cancellationToken
) sealed
Parameters
- accessCondition
An AccessCondition object that represents the condition that must be met in order for the request to proceed. Ifnull
, no condition is used.
- options
A BlobRequestOptions object that specifies additional options for the request.
- operationContext
An OperationContext object that represents the context for the current operation.
- cancellationToken
A CancellationToken to observe while waiting for a task to complete.
Return Value
A Task object of type Stream that represents the asynchronous operation.
Remarks
On the Stream object returned by this method, the EndRead method must be called exactly once for every BeginRead call. Failing to end the read process before beginning another read process can cause unexpected behavior.
Note that this method always makes a call to the FetchAttributesAsync(AccessCondition,BlobRequestOptions,OperationContext,CancellationToken) method under the covers.
Set the StreamMinimumReadSizeInBytes property before calling this method to specify the minimum number of bytes to buffer when reading from the stream. The value must be at least 16 KB.
