Dictionary.Prefix Property (BCL)

The Prefix property is a read/write String that acts as a filter when the contents of the Dictionary object are saved (usually to a database). When the name of a name/value pair begins with the specified prefix, that name/value pair is not saved. By default, the prefix is "_", so that any keywords beginning with an underscore character are excluded.

Definition

[Visual Basic .NET]

Public Property Prefix As String

[C#]

public string Prefix ( get; set; );

Property Value

The accessor version of the property returns a String value.

Remarks

By default, the prefix is "_", so that any keywords beginning with an underscore character are excluded.

The pipeline component that saves receipts usually sets the prefix to "_cc_", so that all credit-card information is not saved in the database. The actual string used by the pipeline component is configurable.

Requirements
