IWMSPublishingPoint.Name (Visual Basic .NET)

The Name property specifies and retrieves the name of the publishing point.

IWMSPublishingPoint.Name = String
String = IWMSPublishingPoint.Name

Property Value

A String containing the name.

If this property fails, it returns an error number.

Number	Description
0x8007000E	There is insufficient memory to complete the function.
0xC00D0036L	String is already being used by another publishing point.
0xC00D1455L	String contains an invalid character. Invalid characters are: & " ' < > \ and the ANSI characters 0-31 and 127.
0xC00D1392L	String is longer than the maximum length allowed.
0xC00D145AL	The publishing point was already removed.
0xC00D1452L	The method is not supported for cache proxy publishing points.

Remarks

The name must be unique. You can indicate the home publishing point by specifying only the forward slash character (/). There can be only one home publishing point, and it can be either a broadcast or on-demand publishing point. A home publishing point is not mandatory, but it enables clients to connect using the shorter URL formats such as and .protocol://server_nameprotocol://server_name/file_name

All other publishing point names must not contain a leading or trailing /, but a / character is permitted in the middle of a name. The following characters are not permitted:

< > \ ? % & ' # { } | ^ [ ] `

White spaces are permitted in the name, but the server will strip leading and trailing white spaces.

Example

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

Private Sub GetSetPubPointName()

    ' Declare variables.
    Dim Server As WMSServer
    Dim PubPoints As IWMSPublishingPoints
    Dim PubPoint As IWMSPublishingPoint
    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 the displayed name of the publishing point.
        strText = PubPoint.Name
