Property Value

Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPExternalBinaryIdCollection
Returns an SPExternalBinaryIdCollection object.

Remarks

Use this property to retrieve the IDs of binary files (BLOBs) that are stored in an External BLOB Store. See Overview of External BLOB Storage in SharePoint Foundation.

The SPExternalBinaryIdCollection object implements the IEnumerable<T> interface (of type SPExternalBinaryId) to iterate over the collection of SPExternalBinaryId instances. The SPExternalBinaryId object has a single read-only property, Bytes, which returns a read-only IList<T> object (of type Byte) that contains the bytes matching the BinaryId values returned in the ppbBinaryId parameter on the StoreBinary method on the external data store provider. The return value provides the IDs of BLOBs stored the specified site. For more information, see BLOB Access Interface: ISPExternalBinaryProvider.
