Remarks

The ArticleResolver property can be retrieved by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Publisher and at the Subscriber (for republishing Subscribers). It can also be retrieved by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the publication database, by members of the replmonitor fixed database role at the Distributor, and by users who are members of the publication access list (PAL).

The ArticleResolver property can be set by members of the sysadmin fixed server role at the Publisher. It can also be set by members of the db_owner fixed database role on the publication database.

Retrieving ArticleResolver is equivalent to executing sp_helpmergearticle (Transact-SQL).

Setting ArticleResolver is equivalent to executing sp_addmergearticle (Transact-SQL) or sp_changemergearticle (Transact-SQL).

The ArticleResolver property is available with Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.

// Set the friendly name of the business logic handler.
string customLogic = "OrderEntryLogic";

MergeArticle article = new MergeArticle();

// Create a connection to the Publisher.
ServerConnection conn = new ServerConnection(publisherName);

{
    // Connect to the Publisher.
    conn.Connect();

    // Set the required properties for the article.
    article.ConnectionContext = conn;
    article.Name = articleName;
