Parameters

Name
Type: System::String^

Required. Represents the name of the variable.

Property Value

Type: System::Boolean

A Boolean value indicating true if the variable exists, false if it does not.

If you attempt to check the value of a variable with the VariableValue property and the variable does not exist, a new variable of that name is created with a null value. To distinguish between an empty variable and a nonexistent variable, use the VariableExists property.

Variables:

  • Have no limit as to length, other than system limitations.

  • Are case-insensitive.

  • Can contain any characters permitted by the system.

  • Are restricted to simple data types such as strings and numbers. No SafeArrays or IDispatch interfaces can be used.
