) : Object[]

Parameters

typeName
Type: System.String

The name of a data object type.

identifier
Type: System.String

A partially or fully formatted identifier.

Return Value

Type: array<System.Object[]
Returns an array containing the separated, unformatted identifier parts as derived from the input identifier.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The typeName parameter is null.

Remarks

The string identifier passed in may or may not be formatted correctly; in the latter case, the method should attempt to do its best at parsing it into identifier parts.

Normally a provider would not override this method directly. The base implementation makes calls into the SplitIntoParts and UnformatPart, methods which carry out smaller parts of the operation.
