IWMSServer.MonikerName (Visual Basic .NET)

The MonikerName property retrieves the moniker display name that can be used to create and initialize a WMSServer object.

Syntax

  String = IWMSServer.MonikerName

Property Value

A String containing the display name.

If this property fails, it returns an error number.

Number Description
0x8007000E There is insufficient memory to complete the function.

Remarks

This property is read-only. A moniker is a persistent COM component that encapsulates both the ability to locate an object or data and to retrieve that object or data into memory. The display name can be used to create the object.

Example Code

This example appears circuitous because it uses an IWMSServer method to create an IWMSServer object by using the moniker.

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

Private Sub GetMonikerName()

    ' Declare variables.
    Dim Server, VerifiedServer As WMSServer
    Dim Moniker As String
    Dim ServerFromMoniker As Object

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

    Moniker = Server.MonikerName
    ServerFromMoniker = GetObject(Moniker)

    ' Verify that the moniker created a WMSServer object.
    VerifiedServer = ServerFromMoniker

Catch excCom As COMException
    ' TODO: Handle COM exceptions.
Catch exc As Exception
    ' TODO: Handle errors.
Finally
    ' TODO: Clean-up code goes here.
End Try

End Sub
