sharepoint document file url to filestream

Question

i want to retrieve the files from sharepoint document libraries url to filestream using aspx and c# coding.

Can any help me how to do it......?

Answer 1

Use this method to get a File object from a URL:

Use this method to read the data to a stream:

If you want to go through all files in a document library, you'll need to write a method that opens an SPList instance of your library, then gets a collection of listitems (SPListItemCollection) from that list, and access the SPListItem.File object of each item.

Answer 2

I ran into this old question, but maybe this will help someone:

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFile spFile = Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContext.Current.Web.GetFile( "subcat/test.docx" );

This will get the local file automatically for you, doing most of the work.
