IWMSServer.DefaultPluginLoadType (C#)

The DefaultPluginLoadType property specifies and retrieves an enumeration value that indicates whether the server loads authentication, event notification, and authorization plug-ins as in-process or out-of-process objects.

IWMSServer.DefaultPluginLoadType = WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE;
WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE = IWMSServer.DefaultPluginLoadType;

Property Value

A member of a WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE enumeration type. This must be one of the following values.

Value	Description
WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED	The server determines whether to load the plug-in as an in-process or out-of-process object.
WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE_IN_PROC	The plug-in is loaded as an in-process object.
WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE_OUT_OF_PROC	The plug-in is loaded as an out-of-process object.

If this property fails, it throws an exception.

Number	Description
0x80070057	WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE is an invalid argument.

Remarks

If this property is set to WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED, the server loads plug-ins as in-process objects. However, if the UnsupportedLoadType property of a plug-in specifies that it cannot be loaded in-process, the plug-in will be loaded out-of-process.

Example

using Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

// Declare variable.
WMSServer   Server;

try {
    // Create a new WMSServer object.
    Server = new WMSServerClass();

    // Retrieve the default plug-in load type.
    WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE pltType; 
    pltType = Server.DefaultPluginLoadType;

    if(pltType == WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE.WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED)
    {
        // TODO: Handle unspecified load type.
    }
    else if(pltType == WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE.WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE_IN_PROC)
    {
        // TODO: Handle in-process load type.
    }
    else if(pltType ==
                    WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE.WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE_OUT_OF_PROC)
    {
        // TODO: Handle out-of-process load type.
    }

    // Set the default load type for plug-ins.
    Server.DefaultPluginLoadType =
                        WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE.WMS_PLUGIN_LOAD_TYPE_IN_PROC;
}
catch (COMException comExc) {
    // TODO: Handle COM exceptions.
}
catch (Exception e) {
    // TODO: Handle exceptions.
}
