Properties

NameTypeDescription
Public Property BucketName System.String The name of the bucket containing the object.
Public Property ByteRange Amazon.S3.Model.ByteRange Downloads the specified range bytes of an object.
Public Property EtagToMatch System.String ETag to be matched as a pre-condition for returning the object, otherwise a PreconditionFailed signal is returned.
Public Property EtagToNotMatch System.String ETag that should not be matched as a pre-condition for returning the object, otherwise a PreconditionFailed signal is returned.
Public Property Key System.String
Public Property ModifiedSinceDate System.DateTime Returns the object only if it has been modified since the specified time, otherwise returns a PreconditionFailed.
Public Property ResponseExpires System.DateTime Sets the Expires header of the response.
Public Property ResponseHeaderOverrides Amazon.S3.Model.ResponseHeaderOverrides A set of response headers that should be returned with the object.
Public Property ServerSideEncryptionCustomerMethod Amazon.S3.ServerSideEncryptionCustomerMethod The Server-side encryption algorithm to be used with the customer provided key.
Public Property ServerSideEncryptionCustomerProvidedKey System.String The base64-encoded encryption key for Amazon S3 to use to decrypt the object

Using the encryption key you provide as part of your request Amazon S3 manages both the encryption, as it writes to disks, and decryption, when you access your objects. Therefore, you don't need to maintain any data encryption code. The only thing you do is manage the encryption keys you provide.

When you retrieve an object, you must provide the same encryption key as part of your request. Amazon S3 first verifies the encryption key you provided matches, and then decrypts the object before returning the object data to you.

Important: Amazon S3 does not store the encryption key you provide.

Public Property ServerSideEncryptionCustomerProvidedKeyMD5 System.String The MD5 of the customer encryption key specified in the ServerSideEncryptionCustomerProvidedKey property. The MD5 is base 64 encoded. This field is optional, the SDK will calculate the MD5 if this is not set.
Public Property UnmodifiedSinceDate System.DateTime Returns the object only if it has not been modified since the specified time, otherwise returns a PreconditionFailed.
Public Property VersionId System.String VersionId used to reference a specific version of the object.

Examples

This example shows how to get an object.

GetObject sample


// Create a client
AmazonS3Client client = new AmazonS3Client();

// Create a GetObject request
GetObjectRequest request = new GetObjectRequest
{
    BucketName = "SampleBucket",
    Key = "Item1"
};

// Issue request and remember to dispose of the response
using (GetObjectResponse response = client.GetObject(request))
{
    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.ResponseStream))
    {
        string contents = reader.ReadToEnd();
        Console.WriteLine("Object - " + response.Key);
        Console.WriteLine(" Version Id - " + response.VersionId);
        Console.WriteLine(" Contents - " + contents);
    }
}
