SendCGetRequest Method

Summary

Sends a C-GET-REQ message to a peer member of a connection.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public void SendCGetRequest( 
   byte presentationID, 
   int messageID, 
   string affectedClass, 
   DicomCommandPriorityType priority, 
   DicomDataSet dataSet 
)

public: 
void SendCGetRequest(  
   byte presentationID, 
   int messageID, 
   String^ affectedClass, 
   DicomCommandPriorityType priority, 
   DicomDataSet^ dataSet 
)

Parameters

presentationID
The Presentation Context ID. The ID provides information about both the class type of the data and the Transfer Syntax to use when transferring the data.

messageID
The 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.

affectedClass
The class affected by the request. This will be a SOP Class or a Meta SOP Class.

priority
The priority level of the message. The Service Class Provider may or may not support priority. Therefore, setting this parameter may or may not have any effect.

dataSet
A DicomDataSet object that contains the Data Set to be found.

Remarks

Calling this method generates a call to OnReceiveCGetRequest on the SCP. The SCP should respond by calling SendCGetResponse which will generate a call to OnReceiveCGetResponse. You must create a Data Set and insert elements corresponding to the data you wish to find. The Data Set returned will include the entire Data Set that includes the requested data.

Example

This is a comprehensive sample that shows how to process a DICOM C-Get operation on both the SCP (server) and the SCU (client) sides.
