SetEntryProperty Method

Set an OData entry property.

Syntax

• C++
• Objective-C
• C

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int SetEntryProperty(const char* lpszXPath, const char* lpszValue);

Unicode (Windows)
INT SetEntryProperty(LPCWSTR lpszXPath, LPCWSTR lpszValue);

- (void)setEntryProperty:(NSString*)XPath :(NSString*)value;

#define MID_ODATA_SETENTRYPROPERTY 11

IPWORKS_EXTERNAL int IPWORKS_CALL IPWorks_OData_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);

Remarks

This method is intended for extending functionality of the OData class and will set the value of the entry property (specified by XPath) to the specified Value. Therefore the value of the corresponding property will be updated within EntryProperties.

XPath is the XPath of the element or attribute according to the following convention: entry[x]/element. When EntryIndex is set to an index greater than or equal to zero, a relative path can also be used: property. When a relative path is specified, the class will use the specified EntryIndex along with the property specified to update the EntryProperty value.

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. For example:

	ODataControl.SetEntryProperty("entry[5]/content/properties/Name", "MyNewName")

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

	ODataControl.EntryIndex = 1
	ODataControl.SetEntryProperty("Name", "MyNewName")
	ODataControl.SetEntryProperty("Address/State", "NC")

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
