FPCProtocolDefinitions Collection

The FPCProtocolDefinitions collection holds a set of FPCProtocolDefinition objects that define all of the protocols supported by the Microsoft Firewall service in a Forefront TMG array or the enterprise. Each FPCProtocolDefinition object can represent a predefined protocol that comes with Forefront TMG, a user-defined protocol, or a protocol installed with an application filter. Access rules, server publishing rules, and system policy rules refer to specific protocols.

This collection is accessed through the ProtocolDefinitions property of an FPCRuleElements object.

Inheritance

This collection inherits from the FPCPersist object, which contains methods and properties related to the persistent storage of an object's data. They include methods for exporting the object's data to and importing it from an XML document.

Methods

The FPCProtocolDefinitions collection defines the following methods.

Method	Description
Add	Creates a new FPCProtocolDefinition object in the collection and returns a reference to it.
Item	Retrieves the requested FPCProtocolDefinition object from the collection.
Remove	Removes the specified FPCProtocolDefinition object from the collection.

Properties

The FPCProtocolDefinitions collection defines the following properties.

Property	Description
_NewEnum	Gets an enumerator object for the collection.
Count	Gets the number of FPCProtocolDefinition objects in the collection.

Methods Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
CancelWaitForChanges	Cancels the registration established by the WaitForChanges method (for use in C and C++ programming only).
CanImport	Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects can be imported from the specified XML document.
Export	Recursively writes the stored values of all the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects to the specified XML document.
ExportToFile	Recursively writes the stored values of all the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects to the specified XML file.
GetServiceRestartMask	Retrieves a 32-bit bitmask of the FpcServices enumerated type that specifies which services need to be restarted for currently unsaved changes to take effect.
Import	Recursively copies the values of all the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects from the specified XML document to persistent storage.
ImportFromFile	Recursively copies the values of all the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects from the specified XML file to persistent storage.
LoadDocProperties	Provides the XML document's properties so that you can know what information can be imported from the document.
Refresh	Recursively reads the values of all the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects from persistent storage, overwriting any changes that have not been saved.
Save	Recursively writes the current values of all the properties of the collection, its elements, and their subobjects to persistent storage.
WaitForChanges	Registers to wait for an event indicating that the contents of the object have changed (for use in C and C++ programming only).

Properties Inherited from FPCPersist

Name	Description
PersistentName	Gets the persistent name of the collection. The persistent name of an object is a name that is unique for the object at the respective level of the COM object hierarchy.
VendorParameterSets	Gets an FPCVendorParametersSets collection that can hold sets of custom data for extending the collection.
