GetEntryProperty Method

Get an OData entry property.

Syntax

function GetEntryProperty(XPath: String): String;

Remarks

This method is intended for extending functionality of the OData component and will retrieve the value of the entry property specified by XPath. XPath is the XPath of the element or attribute according to the following convention: entry[x]/element@attribute. The @attribute part is optional. When EntryIndex is set to an index greater than or equal to zero, a relative path can also be used: property or property@attribute. When a relative path is specified, the value of the specified XPath will be returned for the entry identified by EntryIndex.

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

property is any child of the properties element, and attribute can be any attribute of that field. If an attribute is not supplied, the GetEntryProperty method will return the text portion of property. For example:


	ODataControl.GetEntryProperty("entry[5]/content/properties/ID")
	ODataControl.GetEntryProperty("entry[5]/content/properties/ID@type")

Here is an example using a relative path to retrieve properties of the first feed entry:

	ODataControl.EntryIndex = 1
	ODataControl.GetEntryProperty("ID")
	ODataControl.GetEntryProperty("ID@type")
	ODataControl.GetEntryProperty("Address/State")
