Full Name

urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data#element

OLE DB Type

DBTYPE_VECTORE | DBTYPE_WSTR

Remarks

This multi-valued string property lists the names of property definition objects and property definition override objects defined as associated with items of this content class. Property definition names for properties defined by content classes that this content class extends are inherited and need not be listed in this property.

For example, if you wish to create a custom content class called urn:content-classes:myclass that includes all the property definitions of the urn:content-classes:item content class, you can set your class definition item's urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data#extends property to "urn:content-classes:item". Then, you need only add those property definition names to the urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data#element property that are not already defined by the urn:content-classes:item content class. The property definition names defined by the urn:content-classes:item are inherited by the class definition when it is designated as extending the urn:content-classes:item content class.
