Members

	Member name	Description
	Default	Equivalent to setting both the InclusiveStart and InclusiveEnd flags.
	ExcludeNulls	Excludes a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) values from the range.
	ExclusiveEnd	Excludes the endData value from the range.
	ExclusiveStart	Excludes the startData value from the range.
	InclusiveEnd	Includes the endData value in the range.
	InclusiveStart	Includes the startData value in the range.
	Match	Specifies a range in which index values match the value of startData. When using the Match option, endData must be set to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
	Prefix	Specifies a range in which index values begin with the value of startData. When using the Prefix option, endData must be set to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

If you specify the Match or Prefix option, the endData value must be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

You cannot combine the Match and ExcludeNulls options.

Example

In this example, the range options for the Seek operation on the index are specified as InclusiveStart or InclusiveEnd when calling the SetRange method.

Try
