SetProperty Method

Sets the value of a specific Atom feed property.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Sub SetProperty(ByVal PropertyName As String, ByVal PropertyValue As String)

[C#]
public void SetProperty(string propertyName, string propertyValue);

Remarks

This method is intended for extending functionality of the Atom component. It will set the value for a specific field of this Atom feed. Property is the name of the property according to the following convention: root/element@attribute. The root field can be either of the two following values:

feed	This treats the channel as the root level, and element is any property of the channel. If an empty string ("") is supplied for the root field, the component will assume channel as the root.
entry[x]	This treats the channel's x-th entry as the root level The field element is any property of an entry.

The element field can be any property of the root field, and attribute can be any property of that field. If an attribute is not supplied, Value will be placed in the text portion of element. For example:

  AtomControl.SetProperty("entry[5]/link@type", "text/html")

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 collection to define and list namespaces.

NOTE: This method has a corresponding asynchronous version (SetPropertyAsync) for use in the Xamarin environment.
