Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices (in microsoft.sqlserver.notificationservices.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub Initialize ( _
    nsInstance As NSInstance, _
    language As String _
)

public void Initialize (
    NSInstance nsInstance,
    string language
)

public:
virtual void Initialize (
    NSInstance^ nsInstance, 
    String^ language
) sealed

public final void Initialize (
    NSInstance nsInstance, 
    String language
)

public final function Initialize (
    nsInstance : NSInstance, 
    language : String
)

Parameters

nsInstance
An NSInstance representing the Notification Services instance that contains the collection of time zones.

language
A String indicating the language in which the time zone data is to be returned.

Remarks

The Initialize method is used in conjunction with the parameterless constructor to enable COM interoperability. It must be called before any other property or method is called on a TimeZoneEnumeration created with the parameterless constructor.

Example

The following example shows how to create and initialize a TimeZoneEnumeration object in unmanaged Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) code:

Dim testInstance, testTimeZoneEnumeration, timeZones
const instanceName = "Tutorial"

' Create the NSInstance object.
set testInstance = WScript.CreateObject( _ 
    "Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices.NSInstance")
testInstance.Initialize instanceName

' Create the TimeZoneEnumeration object.
set testTimeZoneEnumeration = WScript.CreateObject( _ 
    "Microsoft.SqlServer.NotificationServices.timeZoneEnumeration")
testTimeZoneEnumeration.Initialize (testInstance), "en" 

' Print the valid time zone IDs between 2 and 40
for each thisTimeZone in testTimeZoneEnumeration
    if thisTimeZone.TimeZoneId >=2 _
        and thisTimeZone.TimeZoneId <=40 then
        timeZones = timeZones & thisTimeZone.TimeZoneId & ", "
    end if
next
WScript.echo timeZones
