Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property ToFileOnly As Boolean
    Get
    Set
'Usage
Dim instance As ScriptingOptions
Dim value As Boolean

value = instance.ToFileOnly

instance.ToFileOnly = value

public bool ToFileOnly { get; set; }

public:

member ToFileOnly : bool with get, set

function get ToFileOnly () : boolean

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
A Boolean value that specifies whether to output to file only or to also generate string output.
If True, the generated script is output to file only. Otherwise, False (default).

Remarks

Specify this option whenever string output is not required, because scripting dependencies can potentially yield a very large string.

Examples

The following code example specifies that output will be written to a file only. No string output will be generated.

Visual Basic

Dim scOps As New ScriptingOptions()
scOps.ToFileOnly = true

PowerShell

$scOps = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ScriptingOptions
$scOps.ToFileOnly = $TRUE
