| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| DBAddOption | Option to add; use a value from DBADDOPTION. |
| SubscriptionHost | Subscription host; use a value from SUBSCRIPTION_HOST. |
Push subscriptions are not currently supported by this method.
If DBAddOption is set to ATTACH_DATABASE and SubscriberDatasourceType is set to SQL_SERVER, AddSubscription can work only with single-file databases. Use the SubscriberDatabasePath property to specify the name and path of the .mdf file to attach.
If DBAddOption is ATTACH_SUBSCRIPTION, use SubscriberDatabasePath to specify the name and path of the Microsoft Subscription File (.msf). This file can be created with the CopySubscription method.
AddSubscription also supports creating a new Subscriber database, creating a new subscription for an existing database, and registering an existing subscription with Windows Synchronization Manager.
In Microsoft® Visual Basic®, AddSubscription is a Sub method and does not return a value.
