IWMSCacheProxy.CreateCacheItemCollection (C#)

The CreateCacheItemCollection method is called by the server to create an IWMSCacheItemCollection object and retrieve a pointer to it.

Syntax

Parameters

ppCacheItemCollection

[out] Reference to an IWMSCacheItemCollection 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.

Remarks

The IWMSCacheItemCollection object contains a collection of IWMSCacheItemDescriptor objects. The IWMSCacheItemDescriptor object retrieves the size, version number, expiration date, and URL of cached content.

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 IWMSCacheProxy.CreateCacheItemCollection( out IWMSCacheItemCollection ppCacheItemCollection )
{
  try
  {
    // Create a user-defined IWMSCacheItemCollection object.
    IWMSCacheItemCollectionImpl obj = new IWMSCacheItemCollectionImpl(this,DS.Tables["CachedItems"]);
    ppCacheItemCollection = obj as IWMSCacheItemCollection;
  }
  catch(Exception e)
  {
    throw new COMException();
  }

  return;
}
