Syntax

'Declaration
Public Description As String

public string Description

Remarks

This property defines the purpose of the list to the site implementer and the site user. A title encapsulates the function of the entire list, but a description provides clarification as to the purpose of the list or list items. For example, the title of a list might be “Actions”, but the items grouped together in an action list might include “edit”, “export”, “open”, “view” and “alert”.

Some lists are neither customizable and cannot be personalized by the site user.
