IWMSOutgoingDistributionConnection Object (Visual Basic .NET)

The IWMSOutgoingDistributionConnection object manages distribution connections. Distribution connections are used to stream content between servers. For example, a cache server, acting as a client, can connect to a Windows Media server and distribute content to players or to other servers.

The IWMSOutgoingDistributionConnection object exposes the following properties.

Property	Description
ID	Retrieves a unique value identifying a client that is receiving the distributed content.
NetworkAddress	Retrieves the network address of the client receiving the distributed content.
Port	Retrieves the port number of the client receiving the distributed content.

RequestedURL	Retrieves the URL that the client used to request a distribution connection.
ResolvedURL	Retrieves the URL of the content being streamed to the distribution connection.
Status	Retrieves the status of the client.

    Dim Server As WMSServer
    Dim Connections As IWMSOutgoingDistributionConnections
    Dim Connection As IWMSOutgoingDistributionConnection
    Dim i As Integer

Try
    ' Create the WMSServer object.
    Server = New WMSServer()

    ' Retrieve the IWMSOutgoingDistributionConnections object.
    Connections = Server.OutgoingDistributionConnections

    ' Retrieve information about each distribution connection.
    For i = 0 To Connections.Count - 1
        Connection = Connections.Item(i)
    Next i

Catch excCom As COMException
