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.

Syntax

object.FindName(Name)as Long

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

  • Name
    String on which the search is based.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT FindName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR szName
LPLONG pRetVal);

Returns

On success, a long integer that indicates the ordinal position of the name string. Zero, if the name cannot be located in the container.

Remarks

On failed search, the method raises the error SQLDMO_E_NAMENOTFOUND.
