RootPath Property (SQL-DMO)

The RootPath property specifies an operating system directory used as the primary path for Microsoft Search full-text catalog storage.

Applies To

FullTextCatalog Object

Syntax

object.RootPath [= value]

Part	Description
object	Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
value	String specifying an existing operating system path

Remarks

If the RootPath property is an empty string when creating a Microsoft Search full-text catalog, the default data path, set for the Microsoft Search service, is used. For more information, see DefaultPath Property.

Data Type

String

Modifiable

Read/write when using the FullTextCatalog object to create a Microsoft Search full-text catalog. Read-only when referencing an existing Microsoft Search full-text catalog.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetRootPath(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);

HRESULT SetRootPath(SQLDMO_LPCSTR pRetVal);

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.
