Read Binary data

[tfoulkes]

Hi,
I'm updating some ASP and am trying to figure out what the code does now, and I'm stuck!
The file handles downloads.
The following code I'm not quite sure about:

set ebsReader = Server.CreateObject("EBSReader.ReadBinary&quot
binaryStream = ebsReader.ReadBinaryFile(filePath)
Response.BinaryWrite(binaryStream)

This is my idea, correct me as appropriate!

It's setting the value of variable "ebsReader" to a Server Object called "EBSReader" but I don't understand the ".ReadBinary". Is this a method?

It's then making the value of "binaryStream" equal to the "ebsreader.ReadBinaryFile" with the variable "filePath" as the data for this method.

It's then writing this out as a binary stream to stop any character conversion.

Thanks in advance!

EBSReader is a com object
look for 'EBSReader.dll'

Set ebsreader = creates an asp object of EBSReader

ReadBinary is a method within the com object
