How do I retrieve LabVIEW shared variable's description programmatically?

[VRspace4]

It seems so simple but I'm spending way too much time trying to figure this out myself. How do I retrieve the description of a shared variable programmatically through LabVIEW?

Thanks ahead,
James

What do you mean by "Description" of the shared variable?

From the Project Explorer, when you right click and press Properties from the shared variable, you can set the Description, Name, Initual Value, etc.

Hi James,

I am assuming you have the DSC module since you reference initial values.  There is KnowledgeBase that talks about how to programmatically change the binding source, and basically you can follow these same steps to access the other properties via a property node.  If you still have questions after looking at this KB feel free to post back.  Have a great day!
