pc:LoadVariables

note

This article is about the pc:LoadVariables Blend directive.

pc:LoadVariables

Retrieves, from a specified file, a list of named variables and their values, with the option to edit this list in the process.

Syntax  

<pc:LoadVariables pc:filepath="*file-path*" pc:include="*csv-list*" pc:overwrite="*overwrite*" />

*overwrite*  ::=  { true | false }

The required file-path is a path pointing to the location of the file to be read.

The optional csv-list allows you to specify a subset of variables that you DO want to load. Other subsets in the file (if any) are excluded.

The optional overwrite allows you to specify whether or not you want existing variables with the same names to be overwritten. By default, they are overwritten.

This operation is only successful if the variable names and values are stored in the file in the same way in which produces this information.

Example

This example loads, from the variable settings found in "c:\temp\myfile.xml", the settings for the connectstring and owner variables.

<pc:LoadVariables pc:filepath="c:\temp\myfile.xml" pc:include="connectstring, owner">
