ViaRecognizedVendors Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The ViaListenInfo property returns the names of recognized vendors when using Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA) protocol.
Syntax
object.ViaRecognizedVendors
Parts
- object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
Data Type
SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) multistring
Modifiable
Read-only
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetViaRecognizedVendors(LPBSTR);
Note
SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference by using SysFreeString.
Remarks
The recognized vendor for VIA protocol with Microsoft SQL Server is Giganet. An application can use the value returned by ViaRecognizedVendors to specify the preferred vendor using the ViaVendor property.
VIA is only compatible with Microsoft Windows operating systems.
For more information about multistrings, see Using SQL-DMO Multistrings.
Note
If an application calls ViaRecognizedVendorson an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later" are returned.
