Remarks

This removes the current media source reference from the MediaInfo object. Call this method to release the source file when it is no longer needed. The current source media file, found in the SourceFile property, is the file that the MediaInfo object gets information for. The SourceFile property must be set before retrieving information from any of the other MediaInfo properties.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family, Windows Vista, Windows 7
