HRESULT GetViaVendor(LPBSTR);
HRESULT SetViaVendor(BSTR);
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
An application can use the value returned by the ViaRecognizedVendors property to specify the preferred vendor using the ViaVendor property.
VIA is only compatible with the Windows NT® 4.0 and Windows® 2000 operating systems. For more information about VIA, see Communication Components.
Note If an application calls ViaVendor on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000" are returned.
