               userPropertyInstance.Value = 3;
            }

GetUserPropertyValue(System.String)

Gets the value of a user property. A better way to get the value of a user property is to use the indexer operator [], see example. Instead of using the method ‘GetUserPropertyInstance’ and then access the ‘Value’ property of the returned value, this method simplifies the way we get the value of a user property.

            // get the value of a user property using the method
            val = cc1.GetUserPropertyValue("UserProperty1");
            
            // get the value of a user property using the indexer operator

            var td = Project.Windows["Window1"]["Text Display1"]
            
            // bind property 'Value'
            var boundProperty = td.NewBoundProperty("Value")
            
            // set expression:
            boundProperty.Expression = "%caller.Name%_Running";
            
            // create a mapping:

            button.SetAnchor(false, false, false, false);

SetUserPropertyValue(System.String,System.Object)

Sets the value of a user property. A better way to set the value of a user property is to use the indexer operator [], see example. Instead of using the method ‘GetUserPropertyInstance’ and then access the ‘Value’ property of the returned value, this method simplifies the way we set the value of a user property.
