Remarks

The DistributionPublication class is used primarily by SQL Server Management Studio and for non-SQL Server Publishers. To create, view, or modify the properties of a publication, you should instead use an instance of the TransPublication class.

The DistributionPublication class requires a connection to the Distributor.

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