	dfsPath As String
) As String

String^ DownloadDfsFile(
	Guid jobId, 
	String^ dfsPath
)

abstract DownloadDfsFile : 
        jobId : Guid * 
        dfsPath : string -> string 

Parameters

jobId

Type: SystemGuid
The ID of the job whose tasks need the file.

dfsPath

Type: SystemString
The path of the file to download.

Return Value

You can use this method to download additional files from the DFS that need to be available to more than one task of a job but weren't included in the job data when the job was created.

The task server will download the file only once; subsequent calls to this method (for the same job) will return the local path of the previously downloaded file. This prevents the need for all tasks to download the same data from the DFS.
