<a id="retvalSection" />

### Return value

Type: BlobData

This method returns a vector containing a bytewise copy of the contents of the blob.

<a id="exampleSection" />

### Example

The following example code demonstrates how to use the **Load** method.

```cpp theme={null}
using Microsoft::Xbox::Wrappers::GameSave;

Provider provider = new Provider();

if(SUCCEEDED(provider->Initialize(userHandle, mySCID))
{
   std::vector<std::string> containers = provider->QueryContainers("Save slot 1");
   
   if(containers.size() == 1)
   {
      BlobData data = provider->Load("Save_slot_1", "progress");
      
      if(!data.empty())
      {
         // Read the data into the game.
      }
      else
      {
         // Unexpected because there should be
         // only one blob in the container.
      }
   }
}
```

<a id="remarksSection" />

## Remarks

This method throws an exception if you call it on the UI thread.

If there is no match for the container and blob names, then the returned vector is empty.

You must call the [Initialize](/reference/system/Wrappers/classes/provider/methods/xgamesave_wrapper_provider_initialize) method before you can call any other method from the `Provider` class.
