Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo (in microsoft.sqlserver.smo.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property Text As String
public string Text { get; set; }
public:
property String^ Text {
    String^ get ();
    void set (String^ value);
}
/** @property */
public String get_Text ()

/** @property */
public void set_Text (String value)
public function get Text () : String

public function set Text (value : String)

Property Value

A String value that specifies the actual text of the Transact-SQL statement that defines the check constraint. By default, the value is unspecified.

Remarks

The Text property of the Check object is equivalent to the Transact-SQL check clause in the definition of CHECK Constraints, which specifies the actual text of the Transact-SQL definition statement.

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

In Transact-SQL the check constraint is defined by the statement such as:

ALTER TABLE CheckTbl

ADD CONSTRAINT chkRowCount CHECK (CheckFnctn() > 1 )

GO

In SQL Server Management Objects (SMO), the Text property requires only the check clause:

Mychk.Text = CheckFnctn() > 1
