DatabasespropertyCADORecord.incdocumented

Syntax

PROPERTY ParentURL () AS DWSTRING

Return value

The absolute URL string that points to the parent Record of the current Record object.

Description

Indicates an absolute URL string that points to the parent Record of the current Record object.

Remarks

The ParentURL property depends upon the source used to open the Record object. For example, the Record may be opened with a source containing a relative path name of a directory referenced by the ActiveConnection property.

Suppose "second" is a folder contained under "first". Open the Record object with the following: Now, the value of the ParentURL property is "http://first", the same as ActiveConnection.

The source may also be an absolute URL such as, "http://first/second". The ParentURL property is then "http://first", the level above "second".

This property may be a null value if:

  • There is no parent for the current object; for example, if the Record object represents the root of a directory.
  • The Record object represents an entity that cannot be specified with a URL.

This property is read-only.

Note: This property is only supported by document source providers, such as the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Internet Publishing.

Note: URLs using the http scheme will automatically invoke the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Internet Publishing.

Note: If the current record contains a data record from an ADO Recordset, accessing the ParentURL property causes a run-time error, indicating that no URL is possible.

Example

AdoRecord.Open "second", "http://first, Mode, CreateOptions, Options, UserName, Password
