Syntax

 

[Visual Basic]

Public Function ID3V2_GeneralObjectFrameMemoryFileGet (

nIndex as Int32,

pBuffer() as Byte,

nBufferLength as Int32

) as enumErrorCodes


 

[C#]

public string ID3V2_GeneralObjectFrameMemoryFileGet (

Int32 nIndex,

byte[] pBuffer,

Int32 nBufferLength

);


 

[C++]

public: string ID3V2_GeneralObjectFrameMemoryFileGet (

Int32 nIndex,

unsigned char __gc[] pBuffer,

Int32 nBufferLength

);


 

Parameter

Description

 

 

nIndex

Zero-based index of the general object frame. The total number of general object frames available inside the ID3V2 tag can be obtained through a call to the TagsEditor.ID3V2_FrameCountGet method with the strFrameId parameter set to "GEOB".

pBuffer

Output buffer that, on return from the method call, will contain the file data

nBufferLength

Length of the buffer expressed in bytes

 

 

Return value

 

Value

Meaning

 

 

Negative value

An error occurred (see the LastError property for further error details)

enumErrorCodes.ERR_NOERROR (0)

The method call was successful.

 

 

Below you can find a couple of samples that demonstrate how to retrieve a general object and store it inside a memory buffer in Visual Basic.NET and Visual C#:

 

Visual Basic.NET

 

Private Sub buttonGetObject_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles buttonGetObject.Click

{

' get the size of the picture in bytes

Dim nSizeInBytes As Int32

AudioSoundEditor1.TagsEditor.ID3V2_GeneralObjectFrameSizeGet (0, nSizeInBytes)

if nSizeInBytes = 0 then Exit Sub

 

' allocate the receiving buffer

Dim byteBuffer As Byte() = Nothing

byteBuffer = New Byte(nSizeInBytes)

 

' read picture data

AudioSoundEditor1.TagsEditor.ID3V2_GeneralObjectFrameMemoryFileGet (0, byteBuffer, nSizeInBytes)

 

...

use the buffer

...

}

 

 

Visual C#

 

private void buttonGetObject_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

// get the size of the picture in bytes

Int32 nSizeInBytes = 0;

AudioSoundEditor1.TagsEditor.ID3V2_GeneralObjectFrameSizeGet (0, ref nSizeInBytes);

if (nSizeInBytes == 0)

   return;

 

// allocate the receiving buffer

byte[] byteBuffer = new byte[nSizeInBytes];

 

// read picture data

AudioSoundEditor1.TagsEditor.ID3V2_GeneralObjectFrameMemoryFileGet (0, byteBuffer, nSizeInBytes);

 

...

use the buffer

...

}
