BulkInsertTask.FieldTerminator Property

Definition

Gets or sets the field terminator for use in char and widechar data files.

public:
 property System::String ^ FieldTerminator { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };
public string FieldTerminator { get; set; }
member this.FieldTerminator : string with get, set
Public Property FieldTerminator As String

Property Value

A String that indicates the field terminator for use in char and widechar data files.

Implements

Examples

The following example creates a BulkInsertTask, and then shows the default settings of the properties, including the FieldTerminator, by using the TaskHost. The example then sets two fields to demonstrate how to set field values.
