IWMSActiveStreams.length (C#)

The length property retrieves the number of IWMSActiveStream objects in the IWMSActiveStreams collection.

Syntax

  int = IWMSActiveStreams.length;

Property Value

int containing the number of IWMSActiveStream objects.

Remarks

This property is read-only. This is the JScript version of the IWMSActiveStreams.Count property. It is included for developers more comfortable with JScript syntax.

Example Code

using Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

// Declare variables.
WMSServer          Server;
IWMSActiveMedia    ActiveMedia;
IWMSActiveStreams  ActiveStreams;
IWMSActiveStream   ActiveStream;
IWMSPlayers        Players;
IWMSPlayer         Player;
IWMSPlaylist       Playlist;

try {
    // Create a new WMSServer object.
    Server = new WMSServerClass();

    // Retrieve an IWMSPlayers object.
    Players = Server.Players;

    // If players are connected, retrieve first IWMSPlayer object
    // in the IWMSPlayers collection.
    if (Server.Players.Count > 0)
    {
        Player = Server.Players[0];

        // Retrieve the IWMSPlaylist object for the player.
        // NOTE: A valid playlist file is not always returned.
        // This may be the case, for example, if the user requested
        // a specific content file or if a broadcast publishing point
        // is being used.
        Playlist = Player.RequestedPlaylist;

        if (Playlist != null)
        {
            // Retrieve the IWMSActiveMedia object.
            ActiveMedia = Playlist.CurrentMediaInformation;

            // Retrieve the IWMSActiveStreams object.
            ActiveStreams = ActiveMedia.Streams;

            // Use the length property as an iteration boundary
            // when accessing individual objects in the collection.
            for (int i = 0; i < ActiveStreams.length; i++)
            {
                // 
.
                ActiveStream = ActiveStreams[i];
            }
        }
    }
}
catch (COMException comExc) {
    // TODO: Handle COM exceptions.
}
catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO: Handle exceptions.
}
