Public ReadOnly Property PartitionFunctions As PartitionFunctionCollection
    Get
'Usage
Dim instance As Database
Dim value As PartitionFunctionCollection

value = instance.PartitionFunctions

    typeof(PartitionFunction))]
public:
property PartitionFunctionCollection^ PartitionFunctions {
    PartitionFunctionCollection^ get ();

function get PartitionFunctions () : PartitionFunctionCollection

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.PartitionFunctionCollection
A PartitionFunctionCollection object that represents all the partition functions defined on the database.

Examples

Dim srv As Server
srv = New Server

'Reference the AdventureWorks database.
Dim db As Database
db = srv.Databases("AdventureWorks")

'Display all the partition functions and schemes on the database.
Dim pf As PartitionFunction
For Each pf In db.PartitionFunctions
   Console.WriteLine(pf.Name)
Next
Dim ps As PartitionScheme
For Each ps In db.PartitionSchemes
   Console.WriteLine(ps.Name)
Next
