Key Property (NamedReference)

Retrieves the key used to identify the named reference.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Property Key As String

C#

public override string Key {get; set;}

Remarks

Developers should use the Key to reference this named reference in their formula strings. When referencing a named reference from a sub-object of a WinForms element, the syntax is "[//key]" where key is this Key of a NamedReference instance.

Web developers are responsible for ensuring the uniqueness of Key, otherwise which named reference gets retrieved from the NamedReferencesCollection is undefined.

Notice that all NamedReferences and CalcSettings are siblings of one another. Therefore, in order for developers to reference a named reference from the formula of another NamedReference instance, the double slashes are unneccessary and "[key]" is acceptable.
