Item Method
The Item method extracts a member from a SQL-DMO container object such as the Databases collection or the NameList object.
Applies To
All collection and list objects
Syntax
object.Item( Name | Position ) as Object
Parts
object
Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
Name | Position
Either a string that identifies an object by Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 component name or a long integer that specifies an ordinal location in the container
Returns
A reference to the object extracted.
Remarks
In general, SQL-DMO supports container member dereferencing, using either a string naming an item, or an ordinal position for an item. Some SQL-DMO containers support additional restrictions to identify items where component name does not offer unique identification. Other containers do not support component name as an argument for the Item method at all.
For more information about support for Item, see documentation for a specific container object.
