Remarks

The DistributionSubscription class is primarily used by SQL Server Management Studio to maintain subscriptions to non-SQL Server Publications. Use an instance of the TransSubscription or class to obtain information on subscriptions registered with a SQL Server Publisher.

The DistributionSubscription class can only be used to return information about an existing subscription. You must use an instance of the TransSubscription class to create or remove a subscription to a transactional or snapshot publication.

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