VariableDispenser.GetQualifiedName(String) Method

Definition

Returns the qualified name of the variable.

public:
 System::String ^ GetQualifiedName(System::String ^ variable);
public string GetQualifiedName (string variable);
member this.GetQualifiedName : string -> string
Public Function GetQualifiedName (variable As String) As String

Parameters

variable
String

The variable whose fully qualified name you want to know.

Returns

The qualified name of the variable, which includes the variable name and the namespace that it belongs to.

Examples

The following code example creates a VariableDispenser and adds two system variables to the list that is locked for reading, and one system variable to the list that is locked for writing. Then the GetVariables is called to lock all three variables in the collection. The fully-qualified name of the PackageName variable is output by using GetQualifiedName.

    End Class  
End Namespace  

Sample Output:

Variables are locked? True

Name OfflineMode

Description The offline mode currently set for the package

Name PackageName

Description The package name

Contains is valid? True

Fully qualified name is: System::PackageName

Variables are locked? False

Remarks

This method returns the full name of the variable, but does not lock the variable.

If the GetQualifiedName method is called by using only the name of the variable and not specifying the namespace, the method returns the first matching entry.

If this method returns the DTS_E_AMBIGUOUSVARIABLENAME method, it means that the reference is ambiguous, and you must provide a namespace together with the variable in the variable parameter. This error occurs when a variable with the same name exists in different namespaces. Specifying the namespace lets you locate the correct variable.
