Depending on the value of the CloneValues property, the GetMetaObject method returns either a full copy of the specified metadata, or always the same instance. For memory streams none of them are ideal because a full copy duplicates the inner buffer of a possibly large array of bytes, whereas returning the same stream instance can cause issues with conflicting positions or disposed state. Therefore the GetMetaStream method can be used to obtain a new read-only MemoryStream wrapper around the same internal buffer, regardless the current value of the CloneValues property.
GetMetaStream can be used also for byte array metadata.
If SafeMode is and name is neither a MemoryStream nor a byte array metadata, then instead of throwing an InvalidOperationException the method returns a stream wrapper for the same string value that is returned by the GetString method, which will be the raw XML content for non-string metadata.
ArgumentNullException | name is . |
ObjectDisposedException | The IExpandoResourceManager is already disposed. |
InvalidOperationException | SafeMode is and the type of the metadata is neither MemoryStream nor byte[]. |
MissingManifestResourceException | No usable set of localized resources has been found, and there are no default culture resources. For information about how to handle this exception, see the notes under Instantiating a ResXResourceManager object section of the description of the ResXResourceManager class. |
