ComponentCollection.Create Method

This method creates a new, empty component file. For example, you may want to create a new component file so you can seed it with data (variables) that correspond to your integrating application. If filePath refers to a file that already exists, an error is returned.

This method was introduced with the release of HotDocs 6.1.

Syntax

void Create ( string filePath )
