Article
12/03/2008

Represents the server registration for the managed code assembly that implements a business logic handler.

Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo (in microsoft.sqlserver.rmo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class BusinessLogicHandler

public sealed class BusinessLogicHandler

public ref class BusinessLogicHandler sealed

public final class BusinessLogicHandler

public final class BusinessLogicHandler

Remarks

Business logic handlers are registered by calling RegisterBusinessLogicHandler. The properties of the BusinessLogicHandler object must be set before calling RegisterBusinessLogicHandler.

Business logic handler registrations are removed by calling UnregisterBusinessLogicHandler.

Call EnumBusinessLogicHandlers to get a list of business logic handlers that are registered on a server.
