Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property Name As String

public string Name { get; }

public:
property String^ Name {
    String^ get ();
}

/** @property */
public String get_Name ()

public function get Name () : String

Property Value

A String value in the format <SubscriberName>:<SubscriptionDBName>.

Remarks

The Name property is a read-only property that is generated when the subscription is created.

The Name property can only be retrieved by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Publisher, by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the publication database, or by the user that created the subscription.

Retrieving the Name property is equivalent to executing sp_helpsubscription or sp_helpmergesubscription.

The Name property is available with Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

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

Example

// Define the Publisher, publication, and databases.
string publicationName = "AdvWorksProductTran";
string publisherName = publisherInstance;
string subscriberName = subscriberInstance;
string subscriptionDbName = "AdventureWorksReplica";

//Create a connection to the Publisher.
ServerConnection conn = new ServerConnection(subscriberName);

// Create the objects that we need.
TransPublication publication;
TransSubscription subscription;

try

    // Connect to the Publisher.
    conn.Connect();

    // Ensure that the publication exists and that 
    // it supports push subscriptions.
    publication = new TransPublication();
    publication.Name = publicationName;
    publication.DatabaseName = publicationDbName;
    publication.ConnectionContext = conn;
