Remarks

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

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

For example;

CatalogPropertiesDataSetSchema.IsBuiltInColumn("AssignAll") will return true since "AssignAll" is a built in property in the CatalogPropertiesDataSet.

However, CatalogItemsDataSetSchema.IsBuiltInColumn("AssignAll") will return false since "AssignAll" is not a build in property in the CatalogItemsDataSet.

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

• AssignAll

• BuiltIn

• Currency

• DataType

• DefaultBooleanValue

• DefaultCurrencyValue

• DefaultDateTimeValue

• DefaultDoubleValue

• DefaultIntegerValuexxx

• DefaultStringValue

• DisplayAsBase

• DisplayInProductsList

• DisplayName

• DisplayOnSite

• ExportToDW

• IncludeInSpecSearch

• IsFreeTextSearchable

• IsRequired

• LanguageSensitive

• MaximumCurrencyValue

• MaximumDateTimeValue

• MaximumDoubleValue

• MaximumIntegerValue

• MaximumStringLength

• MinimumCurrencyValue

• MinimumDateTimeValue

• MinimumDoubleValue

• MinimumIntegerValue

• MinimumStringLength

• PropertyName

• TimeStamp
