  • allProperties
    A Boolean value that specifies whether to load all the property values.

Remarks

Updated text:

This method initializes an object and loads its properties. SMO does not automatically load all the properties when the object is constructed. Whether the property is loaded initially depends on the IsExpensive property and the default initialization fields. Otherwise, properties are loaded automatically when they are specifically referenced in the code, or when the Initialize method is called.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
