abstract GetFileOnDisk : 
        resourceId : Guid -> string

Parameters

resourceId Guid: The ID of the resource.

The path to an on-disk location for the resource.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentException	resourceId is Empty.
InvalidOperationException	resourceId corresponds to an entry which is not a resource.
NotFoundException	The resource with the specified ID does not exist.
OperationFailedException	The operation failed. Refer to inner exception for more details.
NoPrivilegeException	The caller does not have the Read privilege on the resource.
InvalidSessionException	The caller context is not associated with a valid session.

Remarks

The contents of resources are stored in either the application database or the data warehouse database, depending on the type of resource. Occasionally, code which needs to use the resource requires it to be a file on the physical disk rather than a byte stream. This method facilitates this scenario by automatically reading the bytes from the appropriate database and creating a physical file from the byte stream. The path to the file is returned.
