# 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](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/collections-ado-for-visual-c-syntax.md)  
  
-   [Command object](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/command-ado-for-visual-c-syntax.md)  
  
-   [Connection object](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/connection-ado-for-visual-c-syntax.md)  
  
-   [Error object](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/error-ado-for-visual-c-syntax.md)  
  
-   [Field object](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/field-ado-for-visual-c-syntax.md)  
  
-   [Parameter object](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/parameter-ado-for-visual-c-syntax.md)  
  
-   [Record object](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/record-ado-for-visual-c-syntax.md)  
  
-   [Recordset object](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/recordset-ado-for-visual-c-syntax.md)  
  
-   [Stream object](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/stream-ado-for-visual-c-syntax.md)
