Remarks

This property provides the ability to access a specific item in the collection by using the following syntax: myCollection[index] The C# language uses the this keyword to define the indexers instead of implementing the Item property. Visual Basic implements Item as a default property, which provides the same indexing functionality. Target Device names are unique. An application can use this method to find a specific device. A Target Device name can be retrieved by calling the TargetDevice.Name property or by using the LTMM DirectShow Filter List Utility. If the method fails, an error is raised. For more information, refer to the Error Codes.

Requirements

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