function AddConfiguration(
    ConfigurationName : String
)

Parameters

  • ConfigurationName

    Required. The configuration name.

The Configurations property returns the configurations that are on the current project.

To have this configuration be useful, you must call the CopyTo method to copy basic settings from an existing configuration to the new configuration. Otherwise, you must set even the most rudimentary options yourself.
