Remarks

Specifying a value other than Version90 may disable features of merge replication that are new in Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

The CompatibilityLevel property can be retrieved by members of the db_owner or replmonitor fixed database roles on the publication database or by members of the publication access list (PAL) for the publication.

The CompatibilityLevel 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 CompatibilityLevel is equivalent to executing sp_helpmergepublication.

Setting CompatibilityLevel is equivalent to executing sp_addmergepublication or sp_changemergepublication.

The CompatibilityLevel property is available with SQL Server only.

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