BrowseSnapshotFolder Method (MergePublication2)
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 BrowseSnapshotFolder method returns the complete path used by the Snapshot Agent to generate the most recent snapshot.
Syntax
object
.BrowseSnapshotFolder()
as String
Parts
- object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT BrowseSnapshotFolder(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pszSnapshotFolder);
Note
SQL Distributed Management Objects (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
BrowseSnapshotFolder is useful for determining the directory where snapshot files are generated. If the AltSnapshotFolder property is set, BrowseSnapshotFolder returns the folder location.
Note
If an application calls BrowseSnapshotFolder on 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" are returned.
