Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function IsBuiltInColumn ( _
    columnName As String _
) As Boolean

'Usage
Dim columnName As String
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = CatalogDefinitionPropertiesDataSetSchema.IsBuiltInColumn(columnName)

public static bool IsBuiltInColumn(
    string columnName
)

public:
static bool IsBuiltInColumn(
    String^ columnName
)

public static function IsBuiltInColumn(
    columnName : String
) : boolean

Type: System..::.Boolean
true to indicate columnName is a built in column; otherwise, false.

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

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

For example;

CatalogDefintionPropertiesDataSetSchema.IsBuiltInColumn("DefinitionId ")

will return true since "DefinitionId" is a built in property in the CatalogDefinitionPropertiesDataSet.

However,

CatalogPropertiesDataSetSchema.IsBuiltInColumn("DefinitionId")

will return false since "DefinitionId" is not a build in property in the CatalogPropertiesDataSet.

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