Parameters

typeName
Type: System.String
The name of a data object type.

identifierParts
Type: array<System.String[]
An array of formatted identifier parts.

forDisplay
Type: System.Boolean
Indicates whether the resulting string will be used for display purposes only.

Return Value

Type: System.String
Returns a string version of an identifier.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The typeName and/or identifierParts parameter is null.
ArgumentException	The identifierParts parameter contains invalid data.

Remarks

When the forDisplay argument is true, the data provider may return an identifier that looks appropriate for a user but is not necessarily a valid identifier on the data source. For example, a two-part identifier "myuser.mytable" may be valid on the data source, but a suitable display version might be "mytable (User: myuser)".
