Custom Action Error
 

I'm trying to make a custom action, and when it runs i get this error

Unable to convert property ServerName (value: asgard) to Boolean

Its a c# action, but i don't think its getting to my actual code in the dll.
Here is my action file.
i can provide the c# code if needed.
I'm trying to make a custom action to start and stop vmware virtual servers.

It looks like the error is happening in your custom action when calling

step.get_ExpProperty(builder, "ServerName", (short)VarEnum.VT_BOOL)

The ExpProperty method attempts to convert the property value to the type specified in the 3rd parameter, and that will fail for a value that isn't numeric or True/False. I suspect that you don't actually want to change the server name to boolean, so using VarEnum.VT_BSTR instead should work.

thanks i'll give that a go...

was actually using VT_LPSTR...
