IWMSCacheItemDescriptor.GetContentInformation (C#)

The GetContentInformation method retrieves information about the cache contents, such as expiration date and version. The information is stored in a content information context.

Syntax

Parameters

ppContentInfo

[out] IWMSContext object.

Return Values

This method does not return a value. To report an error, the plug-in can throw a COMException object to the server. If the plug-in uses the IWMSEventLog object to log error information, it is recommended that it throw NS_E_PLUGIN_ERROR_REPORTED (0xC00D157D). Typically, the server attempts to make plug-in error information available to the server object model, the Windows Event Viewer, and the troubleshooting list in the details pane of the Windows Media Services MMC. However, if the plug-in uses the IWMSEventLog object to send custom error information to the Windows Event Viewer, throwing NS_E_PLUGIN_ERROR_REPORTED stops the server from also logging to the event viewer. For more information about plug-in error information, see Identifying Plug-in Errors.

Example Code

The following example assumes that the cache plug-in makes use of the .NET DataSet collection of DataTable objects. Each DataRow object in the data table represents one IWMSCacheDescriptor object.

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

void IWMSCacheItemDescriptor.GetContentInformation(out IWMSContext contentinfo)
{
  contentinfo=null;
  try
  {
    // Create the user-defined ContentInfo object.
    ContentInfo ci;
    // The Collection object is an instance of an 
    // 




    Collection.Plugin.GetContentInfo(Convert.ToString(Row["OriginUrl"]),
                                     out ci);

    // Allocate an IWMSContext cache content information context
    // and fill it with data members from the ContentInfo object.
    // The GetContentInfoContext is user-defined.
    Collection.Plugin.GetContentInfoContext(ci,out contentinfo);
  }
  catch(Exception e)
  {
    throw new COMException();
  }
}
