L_INT LDicomNet::SendNGetRequest(nPresentationID, nMessageID, pszClass, pszInstance, pnAttribute, nCount)

L_UCHAR nPresentationID;	/* presentation ID */
L_UINT16 nMessageID;	/* message ID */
L_TCHAR * pszClass;	/* class type */
L_TCHAR * pszInstance;	/* instance */
L_UINT32 *pnAttribute;	/* array of attributes */
L_UINT16 nCount;	/* number of attributes */

Sends an N-GET-REQ message to a peer member of a connection. This function is available in the Medical Imaging Suite Toolkit.

Parameter	Description
nPresentationID	Presentation ID. The presentation ID provides information about both the class type of the data and the transfer syntax to use when transferring the data.
nMessageID	Message ID. Each message sent by a member of a connection should have a unique ID. Since a member of a connection may send several messages, this ID allows that member to identify when a specific request has been completed.
pszClass	Class affected by the request. This will be an SOP Class or an SOP MetaClass.
pszInstance	The instance of the class. A server may, for example, have three instances of the Nuclear Medicine Class. This value identifies the data with a specific instance.
pnAttribute	An array of the attributes to get. The attributes must be specified using the Data Element Tags. For a list of available Data Element Tags, refer to Data Element Tag Constants.
nCount	Number of attributes being requested.

Returns

0	SUCCESS
>0	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Calling this function generates a call to LDicomNet::OnReceiveNGetRequest on the SCP. The SCP should respond by calling LDicomNet::SendNGetResponse which will generate a call to LDicomNet::OnReceiveNGetResponse.

   //
   //1. LMyDicomNet is a class derived from LDicomNet
   //2. LMyDicomNet has the following member variables:
   //       m_nClientOrServer:  can be (STATUS_NONE, STATUS_SERVER, STATUS_CLIENT)
   //                           identifieds the LMyDicomNet object as a server or a client

   //                           set so the server knows how a C-Store Response was generated
   //
   //3. m_pDicomNet points to a valid LMyDicomNet object
   //      LMyDicomNet *m_pDicomNet
