ResultLogical

Returns .T. if the operation succeeds, otherwise .F. (see .CallResult for additional error information.)

Example

dim CallResult as CallResult
dim Container as A5Storage::DataContainer = null_value()

CallResult = A5Storage::DataContainer::Open(Container, "Provider='Disk';Container='c:\A5Webroot';")
if CallResult.Success
    dim Item A5Storage::DataItem = null_value()
    Container.ReferenceItem(Item, "MyObjectName")

    'etc
end if
