IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint.BroadcastDataSinks (C#)

The BroadcastDataSinks property retrieves an IWMSPlugins collection containing broadcast data sink plug-ins that can be used to send content to a client.

Syntax

  IWMSPlugins = IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint.BroadcastDataSinks;

Property Value

An IWMSPlugins object.

If this property fails, it throws an exception.

Number Description
0xC00D145AL The publishing point has already been removed.

Remarks

You must use the IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint.Start method to begin sending content to the client. Only one multicast data sink plug-in can be enabled at any time. This property is accessible through the plug-in's IWMSNamedValues collection.

Example Code

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

// Declare variables.
WMSServer                       Server;
IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint    BCPubPoint;
IWMSPlugins                     Plugins;
IWMSPublishingPoints            PubPoints;
IWMSPublishingPoint             PubPoint;

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

    // Retrieve the IWMSPublishingPoints object.
    PubPoints = Server.PublishingPoints;

    // Retrieve each publishing point and retrieve the
    // IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint object.
    for (int i = 0; i < PubPoints.Count; i++)
    {
        PubPoint = PubPoints[i];

        if (PubPoint.Type == 
            WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE.WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE_BROADCAST)
        {
            BCPubPoint = (IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint)PubPoint;

            // Retrieve the IWMSPlugins object
            // containing broadcast data sink plug-ins.
            Plugins = BCPubPoint.BroadcastDataSinks;
            break;
        }
    }
}
catch (COMException comExc) {
