# _variant_t::Attach

**Microsoft Specific**

Attaches a `VARIANT` object into the **_variant_t** object.

## Syntax

```cpp
void Attach(VARIANT& varSrc);
```

#### Parameters

*varSrc*<br/>
A `VARIANT` object to be attached to this **_variant_t** object.

## Remarks

Takes ownership of the `VARIANT` by encapsulating it. This member function releases any existing encapsulated `VARIANT`, then copies the supplied `VARIANT`, and sets its `VARTYPE` to VT_EMPTY to make sure its resources can only be released by the **_variant_t** destructor.
