[SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/meetings/GetMeetingsInformation", RequestNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/meetings/", ResponseNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/meetings/", Use=SoapBindingUse.Literal, ParameterStyle=SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)] 
public XmlNode GetMeetingsInformation (
    uint requestFlags,
    uint lcid
)

Parameters

• requestFlags
  Can be one or more of the following flags OR-ed together:

  • canCreateMeetings (returns true or false to indicate whether the caller has ManageSubweb rights on the site being posted to)

  • templateLanguages (returns the list of languages for which templates are available)

  • templateList (returns the list of available Meeting Workspace templates available for the specified LCID)

  • workspacestatus (returns information about the workspace)

  For example, setting this parameter to 1 turns on the first bit, which returns whether you have the permission to create a meeting. Setting the parameter to 2 turns on the second bit, which returns the list of available template languages. Setting it to 3 turns on both the first and second bit and returns both sets of information.

• lcid
  The LCID (locale identifier) to which you want to limit the results.

Exceptions

Remarks

The GetMeetingsInformation method allows you to retrieve a lot of information at once. To access the Meetings service and its methods, set a Web reference to http://Server_Name/[sites/][Site_Name/]_vti_bin/Meetings.asmx.

Example

The following code returns the meeting information from the server. ServerURLTextBox is an interface element that is on a form in the Visual Basic 2005 project.

Private Sub MeetingInfo_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As 
    System.EventArgs) Handles ListMWS.Click
 ws.Credentials = myCache.DefaultCredentials()
 ws.Url = ServerURLTextBox.Text
 If (ws.Url.EndsWith("/")) Then
  ws.Url = ws.Url.Remove(ws.Url.Length - 1, 1)
 End If

 ws.Url = ws.Url + "/_vti_bin/meetings.asmx"

 Dim GetMeetingInfoResponse As System.Xml.XmlNode

 If (ws.Url <> "") Then
  GetMeetingInfoResponse = 
    ws.GetMeetingsInformation(System.UInt32.Parse("1"), 
    System.UInt32.Parse("1033"))
 End If

 Dim OuterXml As String
 OuterXml = GetMeetingInfoResponse.OuterXml()
 MsgBox("OuterXml")
        
End Sub
