AFAttribute Constructor (String)

public AFAttribute(
	string path
)

Public Sub New ( 
	path As String
)

Dim path As String

Dim instance As New AFAttribute(path)

public:
AFAttribute(
	String^ path
)

new : 
        path : string -> AFAttribute

Parameters

path

Type: SystemString
A string containing the dynamic attribute path used to specify the AFDataReference and its configuration. If , then the DataReferencePlugIn and ConfigString properties can be configured to obtain values using the DataReference.

The dynamically created AFAttribute is not associated with an AFBaseElement or AFDatabase. Therefore, the DefaultPISystem will be used to load the DataReferencePlugIn specified by the path. A dynamically created AFAttribute cannot be persisted to the server.

See AFAttribute(AFDatabase, String) for more information.

Caution
A dynamically created attribute should not contain any substitution strings in its configuration that are relative references to the attribute. For example, %ELEMENT%, %\ELEMENTID%, and |%ATTRIBUTE% will all return an empty string. Also, %ATTRIBUTEID% will return the dynamically generated ID of the attribute and will probably not be the desired value.

Notes to Callers
If the specified path is a dynamic PIPoint path, this method will NOT validate that the PIPoint exists. The FindAttribute(String, AFObject) method with a path parameter will validate that the PIPoint exists.
