Examples

The following code example creates a package, enables configurations, and enables the export of the configuration file. It adds a new Configuration to the package Configurations collection, and sets several properties on the configuration. After saving and reloading the package, the configuration properties are displayed. Notice that for many objects, there is no CreationName. It is not a required property.
