Gets the collection of customized user information associated with the DataSet.

[Visual Basic]
Public ReadOnly Property ExtendedProperties As PropertyCollection
[C#]
public PropertyCollection ExtendedProperties {get;}
[C++]
public: __property PropertyCollection* get_ExtendedProperties();
[JScript]
public function get ExtendedProperties() : PropertyCollection;

Property Value

A PropertyCollection with all custom user information.

Remarks

The ExtendedProperties property enables you to store custom information with the DataSet. For example, you might store a time when the data should be refreshed.

Extended properties must be of type String if you want them persisted when the DataSet is written as XML.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example adds a custom property to the PropertyCollection returned by the ExtendedProperties property. The second example retrieves the custom property.

[Visual Basic] 
Private Sub SetProperty(myDataSet As DataSet)
    myDataSet.ExtendedProperties.Add("TimeStamp", DateTime.Now)
End Sub
   
Private Sub GetProperty(myDataSet As DataSet)
    Console.WriteLine(myDataSet.ExtendedProperties("TimeStamp").ToString())
End Sub

[C#] 
private void SetProperty(DataSet myDataSet){
   myDataSet.ExtendedProperties.Add("TimeStamp", DateTime.Now);
}

private void GetProperty(DataSet myDataSet){
   Console.WriteLine(myDataSet.ExtendedProperties["TimeStamp"].ToString());
}

[C++] 
private:
 void SetProperty(DataSet* myDataSet){
    myDataSet->ExtendedProperties->Add(S"TimeStamp",__box(DateTime::Now));
 }
 
 void GetProperty(DataSet* myDataSet){
    Console::WriteLine(myDataSet->ExtendedProperties->Item[S"TimeStamp"]);
 }
