SDK API > BS2_InitializeEx

BS2_InitializeEx

Initializes the context and initializes the socket with the IP address specified as the second argument.

NOTE
It must be called before calling the device control API.

Declaration

#include "BS_API.h"
 
int BS2_InitializeEx(void* context, const char* hostIPAddr);

Parameter

Return Value

If successfully done, BS_SDK_SUCCESSwill be returned. If there is an error, the corresponding error code will be returned.

Sample Code(C++)

sample_bs2_initializeex.cpp
void initializeSDK()
{
	void* context_ = BS2_AllocateContext();
 
	string hostAddr = Utility::getInput<string>("Please enter the host network address.");
	sdkResult = BS2_InitializeEx(context_, hostAddr.c_str());
	if (BS_SDK_SUCCESS != sdkResult)
	{
		TRACE("BS2_InitializeEx call failed: %d", sdkResult);
		BS2_ReleaseContext(context_);
		context_ = NULL;
	}
}

Sample Code(C#)

sample_bs2_initializeex.cs
public void initializeSDK()
{
	sdkContext = API.BS2_AllocateContext();
	if (sdkContext == IntPtr.Zero)
	{
		Console.WriteLine("Can't allocate sdk context.");
		return;
	}
 
	string deviceIpAddress = Console.ReadLine();
	IntPtr ptrIPAddr = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(deviceIpAddress);
 
	BS2ErrorCode result = (BS2ErrorCode)API.BS2_InitializeEx(sdkContext, ptrIPAddr);
	if (result != BS2ErrorCode.BS_SDK_SUCCESS)
	{
		Console.WriteLine("SDK initialization failed with : {0}, {1}", result, deviceIpAddress);
		API.BS2_ReleaseContext(sdkContext);
		sdkContext = IntPtr.Zero;
		return;
	}
