## Constructors

### <a id="Tracon_ExperimentVariant__ctor"></a> ExperimentVariant\(\)

```csharp
public ExperimentVariant()
```

## Properties

### <a id="Tracon_ExperimentVariant_Name"></a> Name

Gets the variant name, for example `"control"` or `"v3"`. It must be
unique within the experiment.

```csharp
public required string Name { get; init; }
```

#### Property Value

 [string](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)

### <a id="Tracon_ExperimentVariant_Version"></a> Version

Gets the `AgentDefinition.Version` number to serve.

```csharp
public required int Version { get; init; }
```

#### Property Value

 [int](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.int32)

### <a id="Tracon_ExperimentVariant_Weight"></a> Weight

Gets the traffic weight from 0 through 100. The weights of all experiment
variants must total exactly 100 or saving is rejected. See [Experiment](/api/tracon.experiment/).

```csharp
public required int Weight { get; init; }
```
