When writing new applications, you should avoid using these deprecated components. When modifying existing applications, you are strongly encouraged to remove any dependency on these components.
Initializes a new instance of the object. Deprecated.
ToString

Property Description
BuffersPerThread
Warning: This property is deprecated. Deprecated components of DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code are considered obsolete. While these components are still supported in this release of DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code, they may be removed in the future. When writing new applications, you should avoid using these deprecated components. When modifying existing applications, you are strongly encouraged to remove any dependency on these components.
The number of outstanding receive buffers allocated for each DirectPlay thread. If you increase the number of receive buffers, DirectPlay can pull more data out of the operating system buffers. However, you can also increase latency if data is arriving faster than your application can process it. Deprecated.
DefaultCount
Warning: This property is deprecated. Deprecated components of DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code are considered obsolete. While these components are still supported in this release of DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code, they may be removed in the future. When writing new applications, you should avoid using these deprecated components. When modifying existing applications, you are strongly encouraged to remove any dependency on these components.
Default enumeration count. Deprecated.
DefaultEnumRetryInterval
Warning: This property is deprecated. Deprecated components of DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code are considered obsolete. While these components are still supported in this release of DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code, they may be removed in the future. When writing new applications, you should avoid using these deprecated components. When modifying existing applications, you are strongly encouraged to remove any dependency on these components.
Default retry interval, in milliseconds. Deprecated.
DefaultEnumTimeout
Warning: This property is deprecated. Deprecated components of DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code are considered obsolete. While these components are still supported in this release of DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code, they may be removed in the future. When writing new applications, you should avoid using these deprecated components. When modifying existing applications, you are strongly encouraged to remove any dependency on these components.
Default enumeration timeout value, in milliseconds. Deprecated.
Flags
Warning: This property is deprecated. Deprecated components of DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code are considered obsolete.

Used to determine various capabilities of the service provider. Deprecated.
MaxEnumPayloadSize

Maximum size of the payload information. Deprecated.
NumberThreads
Warning: This property is deprecated. Deprecated components of DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code are considered obsolete.

When writing new applications, you should avoid using these deprecated components. When modifying existing applications, you are strongly encouraged to remove any dependency on these components.
Number of threads the service provider will use for servicing network requests. The default value for this is based on an algorithm that takes into account the number of processors on the system. Most applications will not need to modify this value. Deprecated.
SystemBufferSize
Warning: This property is deprecated. Deprecated components of DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code are considered obsolete. While these components are still supported in this release of DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code, they may be removed in the future. When writing new applications, you should avoid using these deprecated components. When modifying existing applications, you are strongly encouraged to remove any dependency on these components.
The size of the operating system buffer. This buffer holds data from the communications device when your application cannot process data as fast as it arrives. The purpose of this buffer is to prevent data loss if you receive a sudden burst of data, or if the receive threads are momentarily stalled. Increasing SystemBufferSize can increase latency if your application cannot process the received data fast enough. You can eliminate the operating system buffer by setting SystemBufferSize to 0. However, if you do so, you run the risk of losing data if you cannot process the received data as fast as it arrives. Deprecated.
