ServerAgent

The ServerAgent class implements an Office Communications Server agent.

Applications use ServerAgent objects to interact with the Office Communications Server. Each object of this class represents a logical SIP application to the server. Most applications will create only one such object, but in special cases, t may be necessary to create multiple server agent objects (such as for logging all incoming and all outgoing messages).

Before a ServerAgent object is instantiated, an application manifest should be created to describe the application to the server and provide the message filtering service.

This class implemented the IDisposable interface.

The ServerAgent class is derived from the System.Object class.

Public Constructors

The ServerAgent class has the following public constructors.

Constructor	Description
ServerAgent.ServerAgent (ApplicationManifest)	Creates an instance of a ServerAgent object with the specified application manifest. Note This constructor is for script-only applications.
ServerAgent.ServerAgent (Object, ApplicationManifest)	Creates an instance of a ServerAgent object with the specified dispatch handler object and application manifest. Note This constructor is for applications with a managed code component that handles dispatched messages.

Public Methods

The ServerAgent class has the following public methods.

Method	Description
ServerAgent.CloseHandle	Static (Shared). Closes an open Windows object handle.
ServerAgent.Dispose ()	Terminates interaction with the Office Communications Server and releases all resources consumed by this object.
EqualString	Inherited from System.Object. Determines whether the specified System.Object is equal to the current System.Object.
GetHashCode()	Inherited from System.Object. Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetType()	Inherited from System.Object. Gets the System.Type of the current instance.
ServerAgent.ProcessEvent	Removes an event from the server queue and processes it.
ToString()	Inherited from System.Object. Returns a System.String that represents the current System.Object.
ServerAgent.WaitForServerAvailable(Int32)	Static (Shared). Checks to see if the Office Communications Server process has started and initialized. Note Applications should call this method before they create their first ServerAgent object.

Public Properties

The ServerAgent class has the following public properties.

Property	Description
ServerAgent.Pool	Data type: string Access type: Read-only Retrieves the name of the Enterprise Edition pool to which the server belongs.
ServerAgent.ServerProcess	Data type: System.Diagnostics.Process Access type: Read-only Static (Shared). Provides access to the Office Communications Server process.
ServerAgent.WaitHandle	Data type: WaitHandleAccess type: Read-only Contains an internal handle used to signal that there is pending input from the Office Communications Server that the server agent needs to process.

Public Events

The ServerAgent class has the following public event.

Event	Description
ServerAgent.ConnectionDropped	Occurs when the connection to the server has been dropped.

Protected Methods

The ServerAgent class has the following protected methods.

Method	Description
ServerAgent.CheckDisposed	Throws ObjectDisposedException if the server agent is in the disposed state.
ServerAgent.Dispose (bool)	Destroys this transaction and releases all unmanaged resources as well as optionally releasing all managed ones.
ServerAgent.Finalize	Provides a finalizer for this ServerAgent instance.
ServerAgent.OnConnectionDropped	Raises the ServerAgent.ConnectionDropped event with the supplied reason.

Remarks

Before creating an instance of this class, ServerAgent.WaitForServerAvailable should be called to determine if the Office Communications Server is available.

To terminate interaction with the server, applications should call the Dispose() method.

Requirements

Redistributable: Requires Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2.
