Assembly: Microsoft.PointOfService (in microsoft.pointofservice.dll)

Usage

'Usage
Dim posCommon1 As PosCommon

Dim returnValue As String
returnValue = posCommon1.DeviceName

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property DeviceName() As String

public abstract string DeviceName {get;}

public: property virtual String^ DeviceName{
    String^ get();
}

public abstract System.String get_DeviceName();

public abstract function get DeviceName() : String;

Remarks

Contains a short string identifying the device and any pertinent information about it.

This is a short version of DeviceDescription and should be limited to 30 characters.

DeviceName will typically be used to identify the device in an application message box, where the full description is too verbose. The device must be opened before this property can be accessed.

DeviceName is initialized to blank. State verification takes place in the basic and base classes for each device.
