Namespace: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Client
Assembly: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client (in Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Property DisplayName As String
public string DisplayName { get; set; }
public:
property String^ DisplayName {
String^ get ();
void set (String^ value);
}
member DisplayName : string with get, set
function get DisplayName () : String
function set DisplayName (value : String)
Property Value
Type: System.String
Remarks
If the identity provider does not supply a full name, and no custom display name is set, another property like account name or e-mail address will be used as the display name.
TFS 2010 servers may return a disambiguated identity, such as "John Smith (CONTOSO\jsmith)". TFS 2012 servers will not disambiguate identities with the same full name in this manner. However a user could set their custom display name to a similiar string.
