Retrieve an article from the server.
Syntax
object.GetArticle( Article, Message,
[Options] )
Remarks
The GetArticle method is used to retrieve an article from
the server and copy it into a local buffer. This method will cause
the current thread to block until the article transfer completes, a
timeout occurs or the transfer is canceled. During the transfer,
the OnProgress event will fire periodically, enabling the
application to update any user interface objects such as a progress
bar.
- Article
- Number of the article to retrieve from the server. This value
must be greater than zero. The first available article in the
newsgroup can be determined by checking the value of the
FirstArticle property. The last available article in the
newsgroup is returned by the LastArticle property.
- Message
- A string or byte array which will contain the data transferred
from the remote server when the method returns.
- Options
- An optional integer value which specifies one or more options.
This argument is reserved for future use and should be
omitted.
Return Value
A value of zero is returned if the method was successful.
Otherwise, a non-zero error code is returned which indicates the
cause of the failure.
