'Usage
Dim instance As Configuration
Dim value As String
value = instance.CreationName
public string CreationName { get; }
public:
virtual property String^ CreationName {
String^ get () sealed;
}
abstract CreationName : string
override CreationName : string
final function get CreationName () : String
Property Value
Type: System.String
A String that contains the configuration name or ID.

Remarks
The name may be the fully qualified assembly name (for managed assemblies), it may be the ProgID or CLSID (for COM DLLs).
Examples
The following code example creates a package, enables configurations, and enables the export of the configuration file. It adds a new Configuration to the package Configurations collection, and sets several properties on the configuration. After saving and reloading the package, the configuration properties are displayed. Notice that for many objects, there is no CreationName. It is not a required property.
