How the Index Nodes Work

The Index node is a child of the Indexes node. It represents an associated index for a table.

Starting with Visual Studio 2005, you can edit the name of the index in place by selecting the name and then clicking it to open an edit box or by choosing the Rename menu option to open the edit box.

Note: This feature only works in Visual Studio 2005 or higher.

To perform actions on an Index node: right-click the node and from the menu, choose the appropriate command. To view the node's properties, select the node and/or click Properties in the node's menu.
