DirectPlayLobby3.GetConnectionSettings

The DirectPlayLobby3.GetConnectionSettings method retrieves the DirectPlayLobbyConnection object that contains all the information needed to start and connect an application. The data returned is the same data that was passed to the DirectPlayLobby3.RunApplication method by the lobby client, or set by calling the DirectPlayLobby3.SetConnectionSettings method.
