set_entry_property Method

Set an OData entry property.

Syntax

def set_entry_property(x_path: str, value: str) -> None: ...

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 entry_properties.

XPath is the XPath of the element or attribute according to the following convention: entry[x]/element. When entry_index 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 entry_index 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")
