IWMSPublishingPoint.AllowPlayerSideDiskCaching (Visual Basic .NET)

The AllowPlayerSideDiskCaching property specifies and retrieves a Boolean value that indicates whether the publishing point allows clients to cache content locally whenever the bandwidth of the connection exceeds the encoded bit rate of the on-demand content. This allows the player to minimize the effects of temporary reductions in network throughput.

Syntax

  IWMSPublishingPoint
  .AllowPlayerSideDiskCaching = 
  Boolean
Boolean = IWMSPublishingPoint
  .AllowPlayerSideDiskCaching

Property Value

A Boolean indicating whether the publishing point allows clients to cache content locally. By default, this value is True.

If this property fails, it returns an error number.

Number Description
0xC00D145AL The publishing point was already removed.

Example Code

      ' Declare variables.
    Dim Server As WMSServer
    Dim PubPoints As IWMSPublishingPoints
    Dim PubPoint As IWMSPublishingPoint
    Dim bVal As Boolean

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

    ' Retrieve the IWMSPublishingPoints object.
    PubPoints = Server.PublishingPoints

    ' Retrieve information about each publishing point.
    For Each PubPoint In PubPoints

        ' Retrieve a Boolean value indicating whether
        ' client-side disk caching is allowed.
        bVal = PubPoint.AllowPlayerSideDiskCaching

        ' Set a Boolean value indicating that
        ' client-side disk caching is not allowed.
        PubPoint.AllowPlayerSideDiskCaching = False
    Next

Catch excCom As COMException
    ' TODO: Handle COM exceptions.
Catch exc As Exception
    ' TODO: Handle errors.
Finally
    ' TODO: Clean-up code goes here.
