SendCEchoRequest Method

Summary

Sends a C-ECHO-REQ message to a peer member of a connection.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public void SendCEchoRequest( 
   byte presentationID, 
   int messageID, 
   string affectedClass 
)

public: 
void SendCEchoRequest(  
   byte presentationID, 
   int messageID, 
   String^ affectedClass 
)

Parameters

presentationID
The Presentation Context ID. The ID provides information about both the class type of the data and the Transfer Syntax to use when transferring the data.

messageID
The Message ID. Each message sent by a member of a connection should have a unique ID. Since a member of a connection may send several messages, this ID allows that member to identify when a specific request has been completed.

affectedClass
The class affected by the request. This will be a SOP Class or a Meta SOP Class.

Remarks

Calling this method generates a call to OnReceiveCEchoRequest on the SCP. The SCP should respond by calling SendCEchoResponse which will generate a call to OnReceiveCEchoResponse.

Example

This is a comprehensive sample that shows how to process a DICOM C-Echo operation on both the SCP (server) and the SCU (client) sides.
