Guide to Returned Properties

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

To obtain all properties for an item, enumerate an ADO Fields collection on a Record of that item. The Fields collection returns:

• Properties not schema based, as appended to the Fields collection.
• Properties defined by the content class of the item.

To obtain properties for a folder’s items, issue a SQL Search. The following rules apply:

• A SELECT * query returns all properties of the item’s content class provided that content class is among the content classes specified in the parent folder’s expected-content-class property.
• You can search for properties of content classes not included in the parent folder’s expected-content-class if you name them explicitly in the SELECT clause.
• You can search for properties not schema based if you name them explicitly in the SELECT clause.
