Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo (in microsoft.sqlserver.rmo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property DotNetAssemblyName As String

public string DotNetAssemblyName { get; set; }

public:
property String^ DotNetAssemblyName {
    String^ get ();
    void set (String^ value);
}

/** @property */
public String get_DotNetAssemblyName ()

/** @property */
public void set_DotNetAssemblyName (String value)

public function get DotNetAssemblyName () : String

public function set DotNetAssemblyName (value : String)

Property Value

A String value that specifies the assembly name.

Remarks

The value set for DotNetAssemblyName must include the full path to the assembly, unless the assembly is registered in the global assembly cache (GAC), deployed in the same directory as the Merge Agent executable, or deployed in the same directory as the application that synchronously invokes the Merge Agent.

The DotNetAssemblyName property must be set before calling RegisterBusinessLogicHandler.

Any user can retrieve or set the DotNetAssemblyName property.

Example

// Specify the Distributor name and business logic properties.
string distributorName = publisherInstance;
string assemblyName = @"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\COM\CustomLogic.dll";

BusinessLogicHandler customLogic;

    // Create a connection to the Distributor.

    distributorConn.Connect();

    // Set the Distributor properties.
    distributor = new ReplicationServer(distributorConn);

    // Set the business logic handler properties.
    customLogic = new BusinessLogicHandler();
