IPinInfo Object
Note This topic is deprecated. It applies to Visual Basic 6.0. DirectShow is not supported for Visual Basic .NET or C#.
The IPinInfo object manages information about a pin on a filter. This object is a wrapper for a DirectShow pin object, because DirectShow pins are not Automation-compatible.
