AFDatabase.AddTransfer Method (String)
Creates a new AFTransfer without specifying a template.

Namespace:  OSIsoft.AF
Assembly:  OSIsoft.AFSDK (in OSIsoft.AFSDK.dll) Version: 3.1.1.1182

Syntax

public AFTransfer AddTransfer(
	string name
)
Public Function AddTransfer ( 
	name As String
) As AFTransfer

Dim instance As AFDatabase
Dim name As String
Dim returnValue As AFTransfer

returnValue = instance.AddTransfer(name)
public:
AFTransfer^ AddTransfer(
	String^ name
)
member AddTransfer : 
        name : string -> AFTransfer 

Parameters

name
Type: SystemString
The name for the new transfer object. The name is validated to be unique within the collection of transfers currently loaded on the client. This does not guarantee that the name will be unique, but helps to prevent duplicate names from being created. If the name ends with an asterisk (*), then a unique name will be generated based on the supplied name. See the ValidateName(String, String) method for a description of what is valid when setting the name of the object.

Return Value

Type: AFTransfer
Returns the AFTransfer that was added.

Remarks

This method creates a new AFTransfer without specifying a template. Since an AFElementTemplate was not specified, properties that are normally defined by the template are defined by the transfer instead. The StartTime, EndTime, Source, and Destination are initially left undefined; you must update these before checking in.
