This example demonstrates the use of the Reference Tag type.
Technical Information
Reference tags enable dynamic addressing of variables. You can use reference tags in a similar way to how references are used in .NET programming, as both have a defined type. The target type for the reference is specified in the "Parameters" column.
Typed references provide advantages during both the engineering phase and runtime. In the engineering phase, they allow IntelliSense to browse template members directly when a reference points to a template. At runtime, they support string data validation.
All reference tags include an additional runtime attribute: the "link" property, which defines which tag the reference will be linked to during execution, using the GetName()
command.
