IWMSPlaylist.FireEvent (Visual Basic .NET)

The FireEvent method sends the specified event to the broadcast publishing point's shared playlist object.

Syntax

  Playlist
  .FireEvent(
  
  pbstrEventName
  
  As String
  
  )

Parameters

pbstrEventName

[in] String containing the event name.

Return Values

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

In order to achieve a faster stream switch, the CueStream method should be called prior to the FireEvent method. Send the specified event to the playlist. The event being trapped must be associated with a media element that is a child element of an excl time container.

Example Code

Imports Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Private Sub SendEvent()

    ' Declare variables.
    Dim Server As WMSServer
    Dim Players As IWMSPlayers
    Dim Player As IWMSPlayer
    Dim Playlist As IWMSPlaylist
    Dim strEvent As String

Try
    ' Create the WMSServer object.
    Server = New WMSServer()

    ' Retrieve the IWMSPlayers object.
    Players = Server.Players

    ' Retrieve information about each requested playlist.
    For Each Player In Players

        ' Retrieve the playlist requested by the client
        ' if one exists.
        Playlist = Player.RequestedPlaylist

        ' Send the event for the requested playlist.
        strEvent = "excl1_Event"
        Playlist.FireEvent(strEvent)
