This is for use with private SOP classes and it is rarely used and only being needed for very specialist use.

Example

using DicomObjects;
using DicomObjects.Enums;
            	    
   using (var cn = new DicomAssociation())
   {    
       // Replace with your private SOP Class UID 
       var privateSopClassUID = "1.2.840.113619.6.1.4.50.1002";
       cn.RequestedContexts.Add(privateSopClassUID);
       cn.Open("localhost", 104, "callingAET", "calledAET");        
       
       // Add relevant Dicom tags with value if required by your private SOP Class UID 
       var queryDS = new DicomDataSet();
       queryDS.Add(Keyword.PatientName, "");
       queryDS.Add(Keyword.PatientID, "");
       queryDS.Add(Keyword.PatientSex, "");
       queryDS.Add(Keyword.PatientBirthDate, "");
       queryDS.Add(Keyword.QueryRetrieveLevel, "STUDY");
       
       cn.Find(privateSopClassUID, queryDS);
            
       // this holds the returned C-FIND results
       DicomDataSetCollection results = cn.ReturnedIdentifiers;
       
       // this holds the final C-FIND response, including the final status
       DicomDataSet finalC_Find_Status = cn.LastCommand;
       
       // the final C-FIND status, 0 means Success
       int status = cn.LastStatus;
       cn.Close();
   }
