Summary
The Network Analyst Solver object provides the analysis properties specific to a network analyst solver.
Discussion
The properties common to all the network analyst solvers such as impedance can be determined by directly describing the network analysis layer. However some properties such as UseTimeWindows are supported only by a particular solver, in this case, the route solver. The properties available on the Network Analyst Solver object depend on the solver being referenced by the network analysis layer. Use the solverName property to determine the solver being referenced by the network analysis layer, and use the following links to determine the properties available on the object:
