Parameters

descriptorString

Contains the descriptor string for the server.

The value represents a server descriptor string. Any string can be passed to this parameter (i.e. will not cause System.ArgumentException), but not all values make sense and will work when an operation using them is attempted. The server descriptor string is typically the ProgID (or {CLSID}) of the object, a string in the form "\\machineName\serverClass", or a URI of the object.

The value of this parameter can be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Return Value

The descriptorString may contain one of the following:

• A server class, i.e. ProgID (or {CLSID}) of the object.
• A string in the form "\\machineName\serverClass".
• A URI of the object.

This operator is equivalent to FromString.

This method or property does not throw any exceptions, aside from execution exceptions such as System.Threading.ThreadAbortException or System.OutOfMemoryException.
