SendData Method

Summary

Sends a Data message to a connection.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public void SendData( 
   int presentationID, 
   DicomDataSet commandSet, 
   DicomDataSet dataSet 
)

public: 
void SendData(  
   int presentationID, 
   DicomDataSet^ commandSet, 
   DicomDataSet^ dataSet 
)

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.

commandSet
A DicomDataSet object that contains the Command Set which specifies the actual command message.

dataSet
A DicomDataSet object that contains the actual data. This may be a null reference (Nothing in VB) if no Data Set is included.

Remarks

This is a low level means of sending DICOM messages and data. It allows you to send messages yourself, instead of using the high level message sending methods provided. For more information about sending messages, refer to Sending Messages.

Example

This is a comprehensive sample that shows how to send data over a DICOM connection.
