# _variant_t::Attach
**Microsoft Specific**  
  
 Attaches a **VARIANT** object into the `_variant_t` object.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
      void Attach(  
   VARIANT& varSrc   
);  
```  
  
#### Parameters  
 *varSrc*  
 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.  
  
 **END Microsoft Specific**
