Syntax

C++

public void GenerateMetadataXml( 
   DicomDataSetSaveXmlFlags flags, 
   MetadataScope scope 
)

Public Sub GenerateMetadataXml( 
   ByVal flags As DicomDataSetSaveXmlFlags, 
   ByVal scope As MetadataScope 
)

public:  
   void GenerateMetadataXml( 
      DicomDataSetSaveXmlFlags^ flags, 
      MetadataScope^ scope 
   )

flags

Flags that affect how binary data and other information is saved in the XML output file.

scope

An enumeration that specifies if the count is for existing, missing, or all XML metadata records.

Remarks

This method iterates through all instances stored in the Instance database table.

The scope parameter determines if metadata is generated for a DICOM instance.

If scope is MetadataScope.All then XML metadata is generated for all instances in the Instance table.
If scope is MetadataScope.Existing then XML metadata is generated only for existing metadata instances in the MetadataXml table.
If scope is MetadataScope.Missing then XML metadata is generated only for instances in the Instance table that do not have corresponding XML metadata.
