IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint.ExportXML (Visual Basic .NET)

The ExportXML method creates an XML file containing publishing point configuration data.

Syntax

  IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint
  .ExportXML(
  strXMLFileName As String
)

Parameters

strXMLFileName

[in] String containing the name of the XML file.

Return Values

This method does not return a value.

If this method fails, it returns an error number.

Number Description
0x8007000E The strXMLFileName argument is invalid. This can occur if an empty string is passed in.
0x00000003 The path indicated by the strDestinationFileName could not be found.
0xC00D145AL The publishing point has already been removed.

Remarks

You can use the IWMSPublishingPoints.ImportXML method to create a new publishing point with the same settings as the current broadcast publishing point.

This method requires the Network Service account to have write and browse access to the specified path.

Example Code

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

Private Sub CreateXMLFile()

    ' Declare variables.
    Dim Server As WMSServer
    Dim PubPoints As IWMSPublishingPoints
    Dim PubPoint As IWMSPublishingPoint
    Dim BCPubPoint As IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint
    Dim strFile As String
    Dim i As Integer

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

    ' Retrieve the IWMSPublishingPoints object.
    PubPoints = Server.PublishingPoints

    ' Retrieve each publishing point and retrieve the
    ' IWMSBroadcastPublishingPoint object.
    For i = 0 To Server.PublishingPoints.Count – 1

        PubPoint = PubPoints.Item(i)
        If PubPoint.Type = WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE.WMS_PUBLISHING_POINT_TYPE_BROADCAST Then
            BCPubPoint = PubPoint
            Exit For
        End If
    Next i

    ' Export the publishing point configuration
    ' information to an XML file.
    strFile = "c:\wmpub\wmroot\pubpoint.xml"
    BCPubPoint.ExportXML(strFile)

Catch excCom As COMException
    ' TODO: Handle COM exceptions.
Catch exc As Exception
    ' TODO: Handle errors.
Finally
    ' TODO: Clean-up code goes here.
