Repository.Variable.AddVariable

Member of: SynthesisAPI.Repository

Adds a new variable resource to the current project. Returns a Boolean value; when true, indicates a successful save.

If a variable with the same name already exists in the project, the name will be incremented automatically. For example, if "Var1" already exists, the new variable might be renamed to "Var2," "Var3," etc.

Syntax

.Variable.AddVariable(var)

Parameters

var

Required. The cVariable object that represents the variable resource to be added.
