Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Exec80PackageTask (in microsoft.sqlserver.exec80packagetask.dll)

Public Overrides Function ToString As String
public override string ToString ()

virtual String^ ToString () override
public String ToString ()
public override function ToString () : String
Return Value
A delimited string that contains the contents of the collection.
Remarks
The string returned by this method can be used in the LoadFromString method to load an entire collection of variables with a single method call.
The delimited string uses the following syntax:
return::= variable**;variable;**...
variable::=name**,datatype,**value
The name argument contains the name of the PkgVariable to be added.
The datatype argument contains the data type of the PkgVariable to be added.
The value argument contains the value of the PkgVariable to be added.
Literal comma (,) or semicolon (;) characters included as part of any argument must be prefaced with a backslash (\) character.
Note
String variables that end in the backslash character have a single space character appended to them during the conversion process, to prevent the possibility that the semicolon used to terminate a variable could be misinterpreted as a literal semicolon character by the LoadFromString method.
Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
