SQLSnapshot Object

The SQL Snapshot control is implemented as a Microsoft® ActiveX® in-process component. It provides an alternate way, in addition to the Snapshot Agent, to create snapshots. The primary class of the SQLSnapshot, the SQLSnapshot object, creates a snapshot of the specified publication on the specified Distributor.

Dynamic snapshots are supported. There are properties to provide values for the HOST_NAME( ) and sp_repl_suser_sname( ) functions when they appear in the filter criteria of dynamic publications, and to specify the location where the dynamic snapshots are written.
