Syntax

Property FileAs As String
HRESULT get_FileAs(BSTR* pVal);HRESULT put_FileAs(BSTR Val);

Parameters

  • pVal
    Returns the value of the FileAs property as a reference to a BSTR.
  • Val
    Sets the value of the FileAs property to the value of the BSTR.

Remarks

This property is also available as the fileas Field in the schema.

If this entry is null, the FileAsMapping Property defines how the contact is displayed in the folder view. If this entry is not null, it contains the information that is displayed for the contact.

If you set a custom value to indicate how the contact will be displayed, this will set urn:schema:contact:fileasid to cdoMapToNone because the urn:schema:contacts:fileas value is not null.
