A string representing the name of the data source (DataSource object) in which the route is located. Required.

Public DataSourceName As System.String


[C#]

public System.String DataSourceName;

Remarks

• The data source must have a DataSource.Capability property value of CanRoute.

• For more information about MapPoint Web Service data sources, see MapPoint Web Service Data Sources and Capabilities.

• To retrieve a list of data sources and their capabilities, use the CommonServiceSoap.GetDataSourceInfo method.

• Routing is limited to areas for which the specified data source has street and/or major road information. For more information, see MapPoint.BR Data Source, MapPoint.EU Data Source and MapPoint.NA Data Source.
