Remarks

The Type property specifies XML data-type syntax. The list of supported data types is provided at KnowledgeDataTypes. The data type values are used in the Extends property of the KnowledgeContentClass object to set the data type of a user-defined property.

Properties accessed through SharePoint Portal Server also require a user-interface type. This type controls what data-entry style is used in the dashboard site, such as a single-line input box, a multiple-line text box, or a list. The available types are listed in the KnowledgeExtendedDataTypes enumeration. To set the extended data type you must access the "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:publishing:extended-type".property using ActiveX Data Objects (ADO).
