FriendlyName Property

Summary

Gets the renderer's descriptive name.

Syntax

C++

public string FriendlyName { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property FriendlyName As String

public: 
property String^ FriendlyName { 
   String^ get(); 
}

Property Value

A string that represents the renderer's descriptive name

Remarks

The returned name is not unique. However, it is ideal for presenting a descriptive name in user interfaces.
