IWMSPublishingPoint.DistributionUserName (Visual Basic .NET)

The DistributionUserName property retrieves the user name provided by the client in response to an authentication challenge sent during server-to-server distribution.

Syntax

  IWMSPublishingPoint
  .DistributionUserName = String
String = IWMSPublishingPoint.DistributionUserName

Property Value

A String containing the user name.

If this property fails, it returns an error number.

Number Description
0x8007000E There is insufficient memory to complete the function.
0xC00D145AL The publishing point was already removed.

Remarks

You can use a password and the name returned by the DistributionUserName property to retrieve content from a publishing point on a remote server that has authentication and authorization plug-ins enabled.

Example Code

Imports Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Private Sub GetUserName()

    ' Declare variables.
    Dim Server As WMSServer
    Dim PubPoints As IWMSPublishingPoints
    Dim PubPoint As IWMSPublishingPoint
    Dim bVal As Boolean
    Dim strText As String

Try
    ' Create the WMSServer object.
    Server = New WMSServer()

    ' Retrieve the IWMSPublishingPoints object.
    PubPoints = Server.PublishingPoints

    ' Retrieve information about each publishing point.
    For Each PubPoint In PubPoints

        ' Retrieve a Boolean value indicating whether
        ' a distribution password is set.
        bVal = PubPoint.IsDistributionPasswordSet

        ' Retrieve the distribution user name associated
        ' with the publishing point.
        strText = PubPoint.DistributionUserName

    Next

Catch excCom As COMException
    ' TODO: Handle COM exceptions.
Catch exc As Exception
    ' TODO: Handle errors.
Finally
