BASS.NET API for the Un4seen BASS Audio Library

Namespace: Un4seen.Bass.AddOn.DShow
Assembly: Bass.Net (in Bass.Net.dll) Version: 2.4.13.3

Syntax

[DllImportAttribute("xVideo", EntryPoint = "xVideo_GetVersion")]
public static int BASS_DSHOW_GetVersion()

<DllImportAttribute("xVideo", EntryPoint := "xVideo_GetVersion">]
Public Shared Function BASS_DSHOW_GetVersion As Integer

Return Value

Type: Int32
The BASS_DSHOW version. For example, 0x02040103 (hex), would be version 2.4.1.3.

Remarks

There is no guarantee that a previous or future version of BASS_DSHOW supports all the BASS_DSHOW functions that you are using, so you should always use this function to make sure the correct version is loaded. It is safe to assume that future minor revisions (indicated in the LOWORD) will be fully compatible.

You might use the global constant BASSDSHOWVERSION to check the major revision.

Note: Calling this method will also automatically load the library into memory.

Examples

Checking the major version only:

Copy

If Utils.HighWord(BassDShow.BASS_DSHOW_GetVersion()) <> BassDShow.BASSDSHOWVERSION Then
  MessageBox.Show(Me, "Wrong BassDShow Version!")
End If

Copy

if ( Utils.HighWord(BassDShow.BASS_DSHOW_GetVersion()) != BassDShow.BASSDSHOWVERSION )
{
  MessageBox.Show(this, "Wrong BassDShow Version!");
}

Checking for full version "2.4.1.3":

Copy

If BassDShow.BASS_DSHOW_GetVersion() < Utils.MakeLong(&H103, &H204) Then
  MessageBox.Show(Me, "Wrong BassDShow Version!")
End If

Copy

if (BassDShow.BASS_DSHOW_GetVersion() < Utils.MakeLong(0x0103, 0x0204))
{
  MessageBox.Show(this, "Wrong BassDShow Version!");
}
