Namespace: [VM.Managed](VM.Managed.md)  
Assembly: VMAppCore.dll

This class is to represent the variable( Variable data ). Getting the value(double type) through Value property.

```csharp
public class Variable : Expression, IObservableObject, IDisposableObject, ILinkable, ILinkContainerEvent, IVerifiable, IExpression, IVariable, IObject, ILinkContainer, IOwned, IHasID, IEventProvider

```

#### Inheritance
