This interface enables downloading code to write data asynchronously to a structured storage byte array.

When the downloading code has new data available, it calls IFillLockBytes::FillAppendor IFillLockBytes::FillAtto write the data to the byte array.

An application attempting to access this data through calls to the ILockBytesinterface can do so even as the downloader continues to make calls to IFillLockBytes.

If the application attempts to access data that has not been downloaded through a call to IFillLockBytes, ILockBytesreturns a new error, E_PENDING.

When to Implement

You typically would not implement this interface.

A system developer that wants to provide asynchronous storage for a protocol other than HTTP might implement IFillLockBytesas part of the transport layer.

When to Use

You typically would not call this interface. Monikers or other downloading code that provide asynchronous storage use this interface to fill the byte array as data becomes available.
