GetProperty Method

Fetches the value of a specific Atom feed element or attribute.

Syntax

 char* GetProperty(char* lpszPropertyName);

Remarks

This method is intended for extending functionality of the Atom class. It will fetch the value for a specific entry element or attribute of this Atom feed. Property is the XPath of the element or attribute according to the following convention: /feed/element@attribute or entry[x]/element@attribute. The @attribute part is optional.

entry[x] is the Channel's xth entry (or any other root level child), where the indexer x starts at 1.

element is any child of the Channel or an entry, and attribute can be any attribute of that field. If an attribute is not supplied, the GetProperty method will return the text portion of element. For example:


  AtomControl.GetProperty("entry[5]/link@href")
  AtomControl.GetProperty("entry[5]/author/name")
  AtomControl.GetProperty("/feed/title")

Note: in order to add non-standard fields (i.e. fields that are not defined in the Atom specification), element must be prefixed with a namespace that defines that field. The same applies for the attribute field. Use the Namespaces properties to define and list namespaces.
