) As EasyUAServerConditionChangedEventArgs

'Usage
 
Dim clientConnectionMonitoring As IEasyUAClientConnectionMonitoring
Dim millisecondsTimeout As Integer
Dim value As EasyUAServerConditionChangedEventArgs
 
value = IEasyUAClientConnectionMonitoringExtension.PullServerConditionChanged(clientConnectionMonitoring, millisecondsTimeout)

[Extension()]
[CanBeNull()]
public static EasyUAServerConditionChangedEventArgs PullServerConditionChanged( 
   IEasyUAClientConnectionMonitoring clientConnectionMonitoring,
   int millisecondsTimeout
)

[Extension()]
[CanBeNull()]
public:
static EasyUAServerConditionChangedEventArgs^ PullServerConditionChanged( 
   IEasyUAClientConnectionMonitoring^ clientConnectionMonitoring,
   int millisecondsTimeout
)

Parameters

clientConnectionMonitoring: The client connection monitoring object that will perform the operation.
millisecondsTimeout: The number of milliseconds to wait, or System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite (-1) to wait indefinitely.

Return Value

The event arguments, or null if no event is available within the specified time.

Exceptions

Exception Description

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	A `null` reference (`Nothing` in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument. This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The value of an argument is outside the allowable range of values as defined by the invoked method. This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

WScript.Echo "Processing server condition changed events for 10 seconds..."
' Because we only started the processing after we have made the reads, there are now events related to opening the

' Since the connection is now not used for some time, it will be closed.
