IWMSPublishingPoint::get_Type

The get_Type method retrieves an enumeration value that indicates the publishing point type.

HRESULT get_Type(
  WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE*  pVal
);

Arguments

pVal	[out] Pointer to a member of a WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE enumeration type that indicates the publishing point type. This must be one of the following values.

Value	Description
WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE_ON_DEMAND	Indicates that the publishing point is an on-demand publishing point.
WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE_BROADCAST	Indicates that the publishing point is a broadcast publishing point.
WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE_CACHE_PROXY_ON_DEMAND	Indicates that the publishing point is an on-demand publishing point that can be used for caching content.
WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE_CACHE_PROXY_BROADCAST	Indicates that the publishing point is a broadcast publishing point that can be used as a proxy.

Return Value

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Return code	Number	Description
E_POINTER	0x80004003	Indicates that pVal is a NULL pointer argument.
NS_E_PUBLISHING_POINT_REMOVED	0xC00D145AL	Indicates that the publishing point was already removed.

Remarks

You must specify the publishing point type when you use the IWMSPublishingPoints::Add method to create a publishing point.

#include "wmsserver.h"

// Declare variables and interfaces.

// Retrieve information about each publishing point.
for (long x = 0; x < lCount; x++)
{
    varIndex = x;
    hr = pPubPoints->get_Item(varIndex, &pPubPoint);
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Retrieve the type of publishing point.
    WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE pptType;
    hr = pPubPoint->get_Type(&pptType);
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    if (pptType == WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE_ON_DEMAND)
        // TODO: Handle on-demand publishing point.
    else if (pptType == WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE_BROADCAST)
        // TODO: Handle broadcast publishing point.
    else if (pptType == WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE_CACHE_PROXY_ON_DEMAND)
        // TODO: Handle cache proxy on-demand publishing point.
    else if (pptType == WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE_CACHE_PROXY_BROADCAST)
        // TODO: Handle cache proxy broadcast publishing point.

    // Release temporary COM objects.
    pPubPoint->Release();
}

EXIT:
    // TODO: Release temporary COM objects and uninitialize COM.
