member this.Name : string

Property Value

String

If the DataSource object represents a secondary data source, returns the name of the data source. If the DataSource object represents the primary (main) data source, returns String.Empty.

Examples

In the following example, the name of each DataSource object in the DataSourceCollection is displayed in a message box.

foreach (DataSource source in this.DataSources)
{
   MessageBox.Show("Source name: " + source.Name);
}

For Each source As DataSource In Me.DataSources
{
   MessageBox.Show("Source name: " & source.Name)
}

Remarks

If the data source is a secondary data source, the name of the DataSource object is the same as the name of the data source that it represents. For secondary data sources, the name of the DataSource object can also be used as the argument to the Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.DataConnectionCollection.Item property of the DataConnectionCollection class.
