CharacterSet	This is used to set or get the character set used for the value (Inherited from BaseProperty)
CustomParameters	This property is used to set or get a string containing custom parameters that are not part of the specification. These are usually prefixed with "X-" to indicate an extension. (Inherited from BaseProperty)
DefaultValueLocation	This read-only property defines the default value type as TEXT (Overrides BasePropertyDefaultValueLocation)
EncodedValue	This property is overridden to handle parsing the name components and concatenating them when requested. (Overrides BasePropertyEncodedValue)
EncodingMethod	Set or get the encoding method for this property's value as a value in the EncodingType enumeration. (Inherited from BaseProperty)
EncodingString	Set or get the encoding method for this property's value as a string (Inherited from BaseProperty)
FamilyName	This property is used to set or get the family name (last name)
FormattedName	This read-only property can be used to get the full, formatted name
GivenName	This property is used to set or get the given name (first name)
Group	The group to which this property belongs (Inherited from BaseProperty)
Language	This is used to set or get the language used for the value (Inherited from BaseProperty)
NamePrefix	This property is used to set or get the name prefix (i.e. Mr., Mrs.)
NameSuffix	This property is used to set or get the name suffix (i.e. Jr, Sr)
PropertyId	This is used to get or set the property ID for the value (Inherited from BaseProperty)
SortableName	This read-only property can be used to get the name in a format suitable for sorting by last name
SortAs	This property is used to set or get the string to use when sorting names
Tag	This read-only property defines the tag (N) (Overrides BasePropertyTag)
Value	This property is overridden to handle parsing the name components and concatenating them when requested. (Overrides BasePropertyValue)
ValueLocation	The value (data) type or location of this property's value (Inherited from BaseProperty)
Version	This is overridden to enforce the correct encoding type when the version changes (Inherited from BaseProperty)
VersionsSupported	This is used to establish the specification versions supported by the PDI object (Overrides PDIObjectVersionsSupported)

Methods

Clone	This is overridden to allow cloning of a PDI object (Overrides PDIObjectClone)
Clone(PDIObject)	This is overridden to allow copying values from the specified PDI object into the instance (Inherited from BaseProperty)
Decode	This method is used to decode a value read in from a PDI data stream (Inherited from BaseProperty)
DeserializeParameters	This is overridden to provide custom handling of the SORT-AS parameter (Overrides BasePropertyDeserializeParameters(StringCollection))
Encode	This method is used to encode a value for output to a PDI data stream (Inherited from BaseProperty)
Equals	This is overridden to allow proper comparison of property objects (Inherited from BaseProperty)
Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode	Get a hash code for the property object (Inherited from BaseProperty)
GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
SerializeCharacterSet	This is called to serialize the CHARSET parameter if necessary (Inherited from BaseProperty)
SerializeCustomParameters	This is called to serialize any custom parameters if necessary (Inherited from BaseProperty)
SerializeEncoding	This is called to serialize the ENCODING parameter if necessary (Inherited from BaseProperty)
SerializeLanguage	This is called to serialize the LANGUAGE parameter if necessary (Inherited from BaseProperty)
SerializeParameters	This is overridden to provide custom handling of the SORT-AS parameter (Overrides BasePropertySerializeParameters(StringBuilder))
SerializePropertyId	This is called to serialize the PID parameter if necessary (Inherited from BaseProperty)
SerializeValueLocation	This is called to serialize the value location parameter if necessary (Inherited from BaseProperty)
ToString	This is overridden to convert the instance to a string (Inherited from BaseProperty)
ToString(StringBuilder)	This is used to convert the property instance to a format suitable for writing to a PDI data stream (Inherited from BaseProperty)
