This property is read/write.

Syntax

HRESULT put_Author(
  BSTR author
);

Parameters

author

Return value

None

Remarks

When reading or writing XML for a task, the task author is specified using the Author element of the Task Scheduler schema.

When setting this property value, the value can be text that is retrieved from a resource .dll file. A specialized string is used to reference the text from the resource file. The format of the string is $(@ [Dll], [ResourceID]) where [Dll] is the path to the .dll file that contains the resource and [ResourceID] is the identifier for the resource text. For example, the setting this property value to $(@ %SystemRoot%\System32\ResourceName.dll, -101) will set the property to the value of the resource text with an identifier equal to -101 in the %SystemRoot%\System32\ResourceName.dll file.
