IWMSDataSourcePlugin::GetDataContainerVersion

This server calls the GetDataContainerVersion method to retrieve version information about cached content.

Syntax

  HRESULT GetDataContainerVersion(
  IWMSCommandContext*  pCommandContext,
  IWMSContext*  pUserContext,
  IWMSContext*  pPresentContext,
  LPWSTR  pszContainerName,
  DWORD  dwFlags,
  IWMSDataSourcePluginCallback*  pCallback,
  QWORD  qwContext
);

Parameters

pCommandContext

[in] Pointer to an IWMSCommandContext interface that specifies the command context.

pUserContext

[in] Pointer to an IWMSContext interface that specifies the user context.

pPresentContext

[in] Pointer to an IWMSContext interface that specifies the presentation context.

pszContainerName

[in] Pointer to a null-terminated string containing the container name.

dwFlags

[in] DWORD containing the flags. Set to NULL. Reserved for future use.

pCallback

[in] Pointer to an IWMSDataSourcePluginCallback interface. The plug-in calls IWMSDataSourcePluginCallback::OnGetDataContainerVersion to return a result to the server.

qwContext

[in] QWORD containing a value defined by the server to identify which GetDataContainerVersion request the plug-in is responding to when it calls IWMSDataSourcePluginCallback::OnGetDataContainerVersion. The plug-in must pass this value back unaltered.

Return Values

If the method succeeds, the plug-in must return S_OK. To report an error, the plug-in can return any HRESULT other than S_OK. If the plug-in uses the IWMSEventLog interface to log error information directly to the Windows Event Viewer, it is recommended that it return NS_E_PLUGIN_ERROR_REPORTED. Typically, the server attempts to make plug-in error information available to the server object model, the Windows Event Viewer, and the troubleshooting list in the details pane of the Windows Media Services MMC. However, if the plug-in uses the IWMSEventLog interface to send custom error information to the Windows Event Viewer, returning NS_E_PLUGIN_ERROR_REPORTED stops the server from also logging to the event viewer. For more information about retrieving plug-in error information, see Identifying Plug-in Errors.

Remarks

The data source plug-in must set information about the data container into an IWMSDataContainerVersion interface. It returns a pointer to this interface when it calls IWMSDataSourcePluginCallback::OnGetDataContainerVersion.

Example Code

The following example illustrates a possible implementation of GetDataContainerVersion for an NTFS data source plug-in.

// Used to specify an expiration time.
#define DBL_MAX         1.7976931348623158e+308

                    DWORD dwFlags,
                    IWMSDataSourcePluginCallback *pCallback,
                    QWORD qwContext
                    )

    // Convert the last modified time from FILETIME to DATE format.
    FileTimeToSystemTime( &FileAttributeData.ftLastWriteTime,

    hr = pVersion->SetLastModifiedTime( dateOriginLastModifiedTime );
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Specify that the content never expires.
    hr = pVersion->SetExpirationTime( (double) DBL_MAX );
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Specify the cache flags.
    hr = pVersion->SetCacheFlags( 0xffffffff );
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Specify the size of the content in bytes.
    hr = pVersion->SetContentSize( FileAttributeData.nFileSizeLow,
                                   FileAttributeData.nFileSizeHigh );
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Specify an entity tag. The tag can be any string. In this example,
    // it is a string containing the file size. There can be multiple tags.
    qwFileSize = MAKEQWORD( FileAttributeData.nFileSizeLow,
                            FileAttributeData.nFileSizeHigh );
    _ui64tow( qwFileSize, (LPWSTR) pszFileSize, 10 );
    bstrFileSize = SysAllocString( (LPWSTR) pszFileSize );
    hr = pVersion->SetEntityTag( bstrFileSize );
    if (FAILED(hr)) goto EXIT;

    // Return to the server a pointer to the 
    // IWMSDataContainerVersion interface. 
    hr = pCallback->OnGetDataContainerVersion( hr, pVersion, qwContext );
    hr = S_OK;
    
EXIT:
    // TODO: Release temporary objects.
    return( hr );
}
