ViaVendor Property

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The ViaListenInfo property specifies the vendor name when using Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA) protocol.

Syntax

object.ViaVendor [= value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value
    A definition

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetViaVendor(LPBSTR);
HRESULT SetViaVendor(BSTR);

Note

SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference by using SysFreeString.

Remarks

An application can use the value returned by the ViaRecognizedVendors property to specify the preferred vendor using the ViaVendor property.

VIA is only compatible with the Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Note

If an application calls ViaVendor on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later" are returned.
