IWebPartField.Schema Property
Definition
Important

Gets the schema information for a data field that is used to share data between two WebPart controls.
public:
property System::ComponentModel::PropertyDescriptor ^ Schema { System::ComponentModel::PropertyDescriptor ^ get(); };public System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptor Schema { get; }member this.Schema : System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorPublic ReadOnly Property Schema As PropertyDescriptorProperty Value
A PropertyDescriptor that describes the schema information for the data field.
Examples
The following code example shows the implementation and use of the Schema property. The complete example is shown in the class overview for the IWebPartField interface. The provider control implements the Schema property. Then, in its GetFieldValue method, it uses the property to retrieve the field value.

Remarks
This property provides property information for the data passed by the interface. Transformer and consumer controls can query this property to get information about the type, contents, and other details of the field contained in the IWebPartField interface instance sent by a provider.
