Type Property

Summary

Gets or sets the major type of the media sample.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public string Type { get; set; }

public: 
property String^ Type { 
   String^ get(); 
   void set (    String^ ); 
}

Property Value

A GUID representing the major type of the media sample.

Remarks

Gets or sets the major type of the media sample. The returned string contains contains a formatted Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) of the form {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}. For more information on the available GUIDs, refer to the DirectShow documentation. Assignment can raise an error exception. For more information, refer to the Error Codes.
