Remarks

Used to determine if a column is marked as a built in the Catalogs database column.

This method does not report a built in column at the catalog system level.

For example;

CatalogsDataSetSchema.IsBuiltInColumn("CatalogFlags") will return true since "CatalogFlags" is a built in property in the CatalogsDataSet.

However, CatalogPropertiesDataSetSchema.IsBuiltInColumn("CatalogFlags") will return false since "CatalogFlags" is not a build in property in the CatalogPropertiesDataSet.

The following catalog database columns in the Catalogs table are marked built in:

  • CatalogFlags

  • CatalogId

  • CatalogName

  • CatalogStatus

  • Currency

  • CustomCatalog

  • DefaultLanguage

  • DisplayName

  • EndDate

  • FreeTextIndexCreated

  • FullTextCatalogName

  • IsVirtualCatalog

  • IsVirtualCatalogView

  • Locale

  • ProductId

  • ProductTableUpdated

  • ReportingLanguage

  • StartDate

  • TimeStamp

  • VariantId

  • WeightMeasure
