Properties and methods belong to objects, and as properties can themselves be objects, a recursive-nested structure evolves. Objects are referenced by including all names in the chain from the imaginary root object right down to the object, property, or method being addressed.
For example, the user property of a connection object in a data model of the query section of the active document is expressed as syntax:
ActiveDocument.Sections[“Query”].DataModel.Connection.User
Interactive Reporting Studio and Dashboard Architect provide an object model tree view navigator that can generate the syntax on behalf of the user and ease the task of addressing objects, methods, and properties.
