Property Value

Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Dac.DacType
A DacType object that represents the DAC type associated with this DAC instance.

Remarks

A DAC type defines the data-tier objects and policies associated with an application. The DAC type is authored in a DAC project in Microsoft Visual Studio and built into a DAC package, or a DAC type is extracted from an existing database into a DAC package. Deploying the DAC package to an instance of the Database Engine creates a DAC instance based on the type stored in the package. The DAC instance can later be upgraded using another version of the same type.
