IWMSServerLimits.OutgoingDistributionConnections (C#)

The OutgoingDistributionConnections property specifies and retrieves the maximum number of distribution connections permitted by the server.

Syntax

  IWMSServerLimits
  .OutgoingDistributionConnections = int;
int = IWMSServerLimits.OutgoingDistributionConnections;

Property Value

int containing the number of permitted connections. By default, the value of the property is –1, indicating that there is no limit on the number of connections.

If this property fails, it throws an exception.

Number Description
0x80070057 int is an invalid argument.

Remarks

A distribution server can bypass this limit by identifying itself as a player. Therefore, it is recommended that you also use the IWMSServerLimits.ConnectedPlayers property to specify the maximum number of players that can connect. A distribution server can identify itself as a player by changing its user agent. For more information about user agents, see Identifying a Cache Proxy Server.

Example Code

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











    // Retrieve the IWMSServerLimits object for the server.
    ServerLimits = Server.Limits;

    // Retrieve the limit for concurrently connected
    // distribution connections.
    iValue = ServerLimits.OutgoingDistributionConnections;

    // Set the limit for concurrently connected
    // distribution connections.
    ServerLimits.OutgoingDistributionConnections = 50;
}
catch (COMException comExc) {
    // TODO: Handle COM exceptions.
}
catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO: Handle exceptions.
}
