SUMMARY
ADO 2.5 introduces a new object called Stream. This object allows for streams of data to be opened based on binary data or text. The streams can be created from URLs or ADO 2.5 record objects. Adovcstream.exe is a self-extracting file that contains the source and project files for a Visual C++ 6.0 project. Create a new directory for the project, extract the files, then open the project in Visual C++ and build it to create an .exe file.
This sample illustrates a console application that uses the stream interface to retrieve an HTML file on the Internet.
Here is the key portion of the sample code that demonstrates the use of the ADO 2.5 Stream object:
_StreamPtr spStream; hr = spStream.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Stream)); // Gonna read the MSFT stock split info page _variant_t varUrl = "URL=http://microsoft.com/msft/stock/splits.htm"; // Tell the stream what type of data it is reading // Charset values can be found in registry, // HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Charset //Set it to Western spStream->Charset = "iso-8859-1"; //Open stream as read only,default options,no username, no password hr = spStream->Open(varUrl,adModeRead,adOpenStreamUnspecified,"",""); printf("Reading http://microsoft.com/msft/stock/splits.htm ...\n\n"); //Read the whole page into a bstr _bstr_t bstrSplitPage = spStream->ReadText(adReadAll); //Close the stream ASAP since we don't need it anymore spStream->Close();
