Accessing properties from a query result

You can access a property from a query result in two ways:

• Use a specific object interface property.

  For example, you can query for an object's name using the query language property SI_NAME, and then use the InfoObject object's Title property to retrieve it.

  Name = QueryResult.Item(Index).Title

  Most SchedulingInfo properties can be accessed through the SchedulingInfo Object, and most ProcessingInfo object properties can be accessed through the Report Object.

• Use the InfoObject's Properties property to return the InfoObject's property bag, and then retrieve the property by providing its query language property name as the index. This method should only be used if the property that was queried for does not have a corresponding object interface property. For example, the SI_PARENTID property can be accessed only through the InfoObject's Properties collection.

  ParentFolder = QueryResult.Item(Index).Properties.Item("SI_PARENTID")

  Use the SchedulingInfo object's Properties property if you want to access a property in the SchedulingInfo property bag, and use the ProcessingInfo object's Properties property if you want to access a property in the ProcessingInfo property bag. For example, SI_SUBMITTER can be accessed only through the SchedulingInfo object's Properties collection:

  Submitter = QueryResult.Item(Index).SchedulingInfo.Properties.Item("SI_SUBMITTER")

Note:    To set a name or value for items in the Properties collection, use the Name Property and Value Property. You do not have to use these properties to get a name or value for objects in this collection.
