# Properties Collection (ADO)
Contains all the [Property](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/property-object-ado.md) objects for a specific instance of an object.  
  
## Remarks  
 Some ADO objects have a **Properties** collection made up of **Property** objects. Each **Property** object corresponds to a characteristic of the ADO object specific to the provider.  
  
> [!NOTE]
>  See the [Property](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/property-object-ado.md) object topic for a more detailed explanation of how to use **Property** objects.  
  
 The **Dynamic Properties** of the **Recordset** object go out of scope (become unavailable) when the **Recordset** is closed.  
  
 This section contains the following topics.
