Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetApplicationName(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetApplicationName(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Note SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference by using SysFreeString.
Remarks
The ApplicationName property is visible on the SQL Server installation when tools such as SQL Server Profiler are used to investigate server activity. If the client does not set the property, a default is provided by SQL-DMO.
