        if (objFolder2 != null)
        {
            var objFolderItem;
            
            objFolderItem = objFolder2.Self;

                var objItemVerbs;
                
                objItemVerbs = objFolderItem.Verbs();
                if (objItemVerbs != null)
                {
                    // Add code here

            if (not objFolder2 is nothing) then
                dim objFolderItem
                        
                set objFolderItem = objFolder2.Self
