public function GetProperties(
    Item : String, 
    Properties : Property[]
) : Property[]

Parameters

  • Item
    Type: System.String
    The full path name or the ID of the item.

Return Value

Type: array<ReportService2005.Property[]
An array of Property objects that represents the properties of the specified item.

Remarks

The default value that must be passed for this argument is the full path name. To supply an ID, you must set the ItemNamespaceHeader SOAP header. For more information, see Setting the Item Namespace for the GetProperties Method.

Use the GetProperties method to retrieve the complete set of user-defined and reserved properties. To retrieve the standard subset of reserved properties, use the ListChildren method. For a list of the reserved properties of items in the report server database, see Report Server Item Properties.

If the Properties parameter is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) (Nothing in Visual Basic), all properties for the specified item are returned. These include all user-defined and built-in properties that are specific to the item.

You can pass the full path name of the item for the Item parameter or you can pass the ID of the item. For more information about using SOAP headers to accomplish this, see Using Reporting Services SOAP Headers.

Examples

To compile this code example, you must reference the Reporting Services WSDL and import certain namespaces. For more information, see Compiling and Running Code Examples. The following code example uses the GetProperties method to retrieve the description associated with the Company Sales report:
