Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo (in microsoft.sqlserver.rmo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property CachePropertyChanges As Boolean

public bool CachePropertyChanges { get; set; }

public:
property bool CachePropertyChanges {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}

/** @property */
public boolean get_CachePropertyChanges ()

/** @property */
public void set_CachePropertyChanges (boolean value)

public function get CachePropertyChanges () : boolean

public function set CachePropertyChanges (value : boolean)

Property Value

A Boolean value. If true, the property changes are cached. If false, the property changes are applied immediately.

Remarks

When the value of CachePropertyChanges is false, property changes are immediately set according to the SqlExecutionModes property of the ServerConnection object. When the value is set to true, property changes will be cached until CommitPropertyChanges is called. When CommitPropertyChanges is called, all property changes after CachePropertyChanges are set according to the SqlExecutionModes property.

Caching only applies to properties stored in Microsoft SQL Server.

The default value of CachePropertyChanges is false.

This property is available with SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server 2000, and SQL Server 2005.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework.

Example

// Define the server, database, and publication names
string publisherName = publisherInstance;
string publicationName = "AdvWorksProductTran";
string publicationDbName = "AdventureWorks";

TransPublication publication;

// Create a connection to the Publisher.
ServerConnection conn = new ServerConnection(publisherName);

try
{
    // Connect to the Publisher.
    conn.Connect();

    // Set the required properties for the publication.
    publication = new TransPublication();
    publication.ConnectionContext = conn;
    publication.Name = publicationName;
    publication.DatabaseName = publicationDbName;

    // Explicitly enable caching of property changes on this object.
    publication.CachePropertyChanges = true;

    // If we can't get the properties for this publication, 
    // throw an application exception.
    if (publication.LoadProperties())
    {
        // Enable support for push subscriptions and disable support 
        // for pull subscriptions.
        if ((publication.Attributes & PublicationAttributes.AllowPull) != 0)
        {
            publication.Attributes ^= PublicationAttributes.AllowPull;
