Interface IResource

All Known Implementing Classes
Resource
public interface IResource
This interface defines a Resource. The Resource objects belong to a collection. It is used to support the fn:collection() and fn:uri-collection() functions.

It is recommended (but is not universally the case) that fetching (and where necessary parsing) the content of a Resource should be delayed until the getItem method is called. This means that errors in fetching the resource or parsing its contents may go undetected until the resource is materialized in this way.

Method Summary
 string GetContentType()

Get the media type (MIME type) of the resource if known

 string GetResourceURI()

Get a URI that identifies this resource

 XdmItem GetXdmItem(DynamicContext context)

Get an XDM Item holding the contents of this resource.
