IWMSPlugin.MonikerName (Visual Basic .NET)

The MonikerName property retrieves the moniker display name for a plug-in.

Syntax

  string = Plugin.MonikerName;

Property Value

A String containing the moniker name

If this property fails, it throws an exception.

Number Description
0xC00D003D The namespace containing the moniker name could not be opened.

Remarks

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, in this case a plug-in.

Example Code

The following example retrieves the moniker name for the WMS Anonymous User Plug-in included with Windows Media Services. The moniker equals "WMSServer:server_name\Authentication\Object Store\WMS Anonymous User Authentication".

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

Private Sub GetMonikerName()

' Declare Variables
    Dim Server As WMSServer
    Dim Plugin As IWMSPlugin
    Dim MonikerName As String

Try
    ' Create the WMSServer object.
    Server = CreateObject("WMSServer.Server")
 
    ' Retrieve the WMS Anonymous User Authentication plug-in.
    Plugin = Server.Authenticators.Item("WMS Anonymous User Authentication")

    ' Retrieve the moniker name.
    MonikerName = Plugin.MonikerName

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

Finally
    ' TODO: Clean-up code goes here.
End Try

End Sub
