AttributeId Property (_UAAttributeArguments)

Attribute Id. Identifies an attribute of a node.

Syntax

UAAttributeId AttributeId {get; set;}

property UAAttributeId AttributeId {
   UAAttributeId get();
   void set (    UAAttributeId value);
}

'Declaration
 
Property AttributeId As UAAttributeId

'Usage
 
Dim instance As _UAAttributeArguments
Dim value As UAAttributeId
 
instance.AttributeId = value
 
value = instance.AttributeId
