Property Value

Type: System.String
A String that contains the creation name. The name may be the fully qualified assembly name (for managed assemblies), it may be the ProgID or CLSID (for COM DLLs), or it may be one of the STOCK monikers such as STOCK:FILE that is used to create the connection manager for a file.
