Nested Collections

Note

  This feature will be removed in the next version of Microsoft SQL Server. Do not use this feature in new development work, and modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible.

For members of a collection that is itself a collection of an object contained in another collection, you can use an intermediate object to access each collection. For example, if object dsoObject has a collection Collection1 that contains objects of type dsoObject1, and each of these has a collection Collection2 that contains objects of type dsoObject2, you can access properties of dsoObject2 objects by setting a temporary object to the intermediate dsoObject1.

Dim TempObject, TempProp
' Retrieve the first level object.
Set TempObject = dsoObject.Collection1(i)
' Retrieve the property.   
TempProp = TempObject.Collection2(j).property

Access to the property directly through nested collection references is not implemented in Decision Support Objects (DSO) collections. For example, the following statement will produce an error:

TempProp = dsoObject.Collection1(i).Collection2(j).property
