Read/write when using the FullTextCatalog object to create a Microsoft Search full-text catalog. Read-only when referencing an existing Microsoft Search full-text catalog.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetRootPath(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);

HRESULT SetRootPath(SQLDMO_LPCSTR pRetVal);

Note  SQL-DMO strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.

Remarks

If the RootPath property is an empty string when creating a Microsoft Search full-text catalog, the default data path, set for the Microsoft Search service, is used. For more information, see DefaultPath Property.
