Syntax
'Declaration
 
<NotNullAttribute()>
Property PluginConfigurations As ConfigurationPartCollection
'Usage
 
Dim instance As _EasyUAClientInstanceParameters
Dim value As ConfigurationPartCollection
 
instance.PluginConfigurations = value
 
value = instance.PluginConfigurations
[NotNull()]
ConfigurationPartCollection PluginConfigurations {get; set;}

Property Value

The value of this property cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

The individual elements of the property value cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions
ExceptionDescription

A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

Remarks

This member or type is for use from COM. It is not meant to be used from .NET or Python. Refer to the corresponding .NET member or type instead, if you are developing in .NET or Python.

The getter method of this property is pure, i.e. it does not have observable side effects.
