SqlSmoObject.Initialize Method

Initializes the object and forces the properties be loaded.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function Initialize As Boolean
'Usage
Dim instance As SqlSmoObject
Dim returnValue As Boolean

returnValue = instance.Initialize()
public bool Initialize()

bool Initialize()
member Initialize : unit -> bool 
public function Initialize() : boolean

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
A Boolean value that specifies whether the object initialized successfully.
If True, the object initialized successfully. Otherwise, False.

Remarks

This method initializes an object and loads its properties. SMO does not automatically load all the properties when the object is constructed. Whether the property is loaded initially depends on the IsExpensive property and the default initialization fields. Otherwise, properties are loaded automatically when they are specifically referenced in the code, or when the Initialize method is called.
