Property Bag for Model Directory and Model Directory Unit

This Property Bag provides access to the properties of the Model Directory and the Model Directory Unit objects. The PropertyBag property for both the ISCModelDirectory interface and the ISCModelDirectoryUnit interface populates the bag with the set of current properties. The same property of these interfaces allows modification of directory (if it is not read-only) or directory unit attributes. The contents of the bag can have one of two available forms, either native format or as a string based on the optional parameter of the PropertyBag property of ISCModelDirectory and ISCModelDirectoryUnit. The client can populate the bag in either of these two forms. Different forms can be mixed in the same instance of the bag.

Not all properties that exist in the directory or directory unit have to be present in the bag when it is submitted. All property data as well as property names are validated by the API, and all are either accepted or rejected. The rejection forces a method call to fail. If the bag includes properties that are read-only at the moment, for example, the Locator property, then such properties are ignored and do not affect validation of the bag data.

The following table lists the Property Bag properties and data types for the Model Directory:
