get_VariableValue Method

The get_VariableValue method gets the value of an indexed variable from the SetupNode object. You can use this method to identify objects (for example, pages) that require special processing when a variable contains a specific value. This method is useful when a node contains many child objects and variables.

Attention: .NET only. For VBScript, use the VariableValue property instead.

Description

The following example shows three variables that are associated with the page node, Main_Page, in the Setup DCO file:

<P type="Main_Page">
   <V n="ID">0</V>           0 
   <V n="TYPE">Page</V>      1 
   <V n="STATUS">0</V>       2

0 Variable 0 (name = ID, value = 0)

1 Variable 1 (name = TYPE, value = Page)

2 Variable 2 (name = STATUS, value = 0)

Syntax

C#

string get_VariableValue(int nIndex)

Arguments

nIndex: The index of the variable, where 0 is the first variable defined in the SetupNode object

C# Example

The following example gets the value of the first variable defined with the page node, Main_Page, in the Setup DCO:

TDCOLib.DCOSetupNode m_oDCOSetupNode = m_oDCOSetup.GetNodeByName(2, "Main_Page");
string varValue = m_oDCOSetupNode.get_VariableValue(0);
