ExpressionStore Class (PIA)

Use this object to manipulate expressions contained in an expression store. An expression store is a database of expressions along with information about the expressions. There is one expression store for each Commerce site.

Remarks

The connection string to a valid expression store must be stored using the Connect method before calling any other method of the ExpressionStore object.

An ExpressionStore object is internally created when the Connect method of an ExpressionEval object is invoked.

Many of the ExpressionStore methods use a Recordset object to store an expression. For more information, see Expression Recordset.
