IWMSPlugin.MonikerName (C#)

The MonikerName property retrieves a moniker display name for a plug-in.

Syntax

  string = Plugin.MonikerName;

Property Value

A String containing the moniker name

If this property fails, it throws an exception.

Number Description
0xC00D003D The namespace containing the moniker name could not be opened.

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

// Declare variables.
WMSServer          Server;
IWMSPlugin         Plugin;
string             MonikerName;

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

    // Retrieve the WMS Anonymous User Authentication plug-in.
    Plugin = Server.Authenticators["WMS Anonymous User Authentication"];

    // Retrieve the moniker name.
    MonikerName = Plugin.MonikerName;

}
catch (COMException comExc) {
    // TODO: Handle COM exceptions.
}
catch (Exception) 
{
    // TODO: Handle exceptions.
}
