                fileCopy.LoadFromStream(currentFile.FileName, stream);
            }
            PortfolioFileData portfolio = ObjectSpace.CreateObject<PortfolioFileData>();
            portfolio.File = fileCopy;

        Dim currentFile As FileData = ViewCurrentObject.File
        If currentFile IsNot Nothing AndAlso Not currentFile.IsEmpty Then
            Dim fileCopy As FileData = ObjectSpace.CreateObject(Of FileData)()
            Using stream As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream()
                currentFile.SaveToStream(stream)
                stream.Position = 0
                fileCopy.LoadFromStream(currentFile.FileName, stream)
            End Using
            Dim portfolio As PortfolioFileData = ObjectSpace.CreateObject(Of PortfolioFileData)()

Here, FileData is a built-in class that implements the IFileData interface.
