Access Read/write

WCHAR szSubnetMaskData[] = L"255.255.0.0";
CLUSPROP_SZ_DECLARE( SubnetMaskValue, 
 sizeof( szSubnetMaskData ) / sizeof( WCHAR ) );

SubnetMaskValue.Syntax.dw = CLUSPROP_SYNTAX_LIST_VALUE_SZ;
SubnetMaskValue.cbLength = sizeof( szSubnetMaskData );
StringCbCopy( SubnetMaskValue.sz, 
 SubnetMaskValue.cbLength, 
 szSubnetMaskData );
