This method returns S_OK (0x00000000) to indicate success and standard COM HRESULT error values to indicate failure. For more information about standard COM errors, see Standard COM Errors. Additional information may be available using the global Err object, which can be accessed using the API function GetErrorInfo.

Remarks

[C++]

The vtArray parameter points to valid data only if the method completes successfully.

Important Note:
There is a special group of methods used with multivalued arrays. These methods are the only approved and recommended way of storing and retrieving multivalued arrays in the Administration database. You must use the following methods with any property that has the structure of a multivalued array: MakeArrayFromSimpleList MakeSimpleListFromArray MakeArrayFromString MakeStringFromArray

Example

 ' vMyVariant is a Variant.
' varMySimpleList is a SimpleList object.
' oSiteConfigReadOnly is a SiteConfigReadOnly object.
vMyVariant = oSiteConfigReadOnly.MakeArrayFromSimpleList(varMySimpleList)
