VARIANT* varArray,
IDispatch** iSimpleList
);
Function MakeSimpleListFromArray(
varArray As Variant
) As Object
Parameters
varArray
[C++][in] A pointer to the VARIANT that contains the array to convert.
[Visual Basic]
A Variant that contains the array to convert.
iSimpleList
[C++][out, retval] The address of an IDispatch pointer used to return the converted SimpleList object.
Return Value
[C++]
This method returns an HRESULT indicating whether it completed successfully. See the Error Values section for more details.

Error Values
[C++]
This method returns S_OK (0x00000000) to indicate success and standard COM HRESULT error values to indicate failure. For more information about standard COM errors, see Standard COM Errors. Additional information may be available using the global Err object, which can be accessed using the API function GetErrorInfo.

This method sets the Number property of the global Err object to S_OK (&H00000000) to indicate success and to standard COM error values to indicate failure. For more information about standard COM errors, see Standard COM Errors. Additional information may be available using the global Err object. In particular, the Description property may contain a text description of the error.
All ADO, SQL Server, and ODBC errors will also be returned by this method.
Remarks
The iSimpleList parameter contains valid data only if the method completes successfully.
Note
There is a special group of methods used with multivalued arrays. These methods are the only approved and recommended way of storing and retrieving multivalued arrays in the Administration database. You must use the following methods with any property that has the structure of a multivalued array: MakeArrayFromSimpleList MakeSimpleListFromArray MakeArrayFromString MakeStringFromArray
Example
' vMyArray is a Variant.
' varMySimpleList is a SimpleList object.
' oGlobalConfig2 is a GlobalConfig2 object.
varMySimpleList = oGlobalConfig2.MakeSimpleListFromArray(vMyArray)
