Parameters

Type

The data type to create.

addToContainer
Boolean

If true, this object is added to the design container. The object must implement IComponent for this to have any effect.

Returns

The newly created object instance.

Remarks

Objects that implement IComponent are added to the design-time container if the addToContainer parameter is true.
