Accessing USERRx and USERIx variables

[cyr_j]

How do you access the USERR and USERI variables in .NET? I've looked for documents on the internet and wasn't able to find any references. I'm also not sure where to look in the developer's help file to find it.

Thanks for your help.

Jason, Have a look at this and see if this helps you. Also, there are some great .NET resources/programmers over at the http://www.theswamp.org/ as well.

[assembly: CommandClass(typeof(GetUserVars.Commands))]

[CommandMethod("GetUserVar")]

{
Editor MyEditor = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor;
PromptResult Result = MyEditor.GetString("\nEnter a user Variable");

if (Result.Status == PromptStatus.OK)
{
try
{
//Get the user variable
object uservar = Application.GetSystemVariable(Result.StringResult);

MyEditor.WriteMessage("\nUser Variable {0}, is typeof {1}, value of {2}"
,Result.StringResult.ToUpper() ,uservar.GetType(), uservar);

}
catch(System.Exception ex)
{
MyEditor.WriteMessage(ex.Message);
}
}
}
