Remarks

The add-ins are available when the solution, project file, and so on are loaded.

Solution globals are associated with automation clients.

Note

VariableValue[] name strings cannot contain space, colon (:), or period(.) characters. If a name has any of these characters, you get the error, "Value does not fall within expected range."
