ADO for Visual C++ Syntax Index for COM

This index is a cross-reference to the ADO Language Reference based on Microsoft Visual C++.

If you use the #import directive in your application, a header file will be generated that will enable you to use syntax similar to Microsoft Visual Basic. Property names of the form get_PropertyName and put_PropertyName can be treated as if they were declared simply as PropertyName. A property can then be treated like a data member instead of a function.

All of the methods, properties, and events are functions that return an HRESULT, which you can test to determine if the function executed successfully.

Method and property syntax in Visual C++ is listed for the following elements:

• Collections

• Command object

• Connection object

• Error object

• Field object

• Parameter object

• Record object

• Recordset object

• Stream object
