How to set Category data of a node using C# WebService?

Hi.

I wrote this code to set category's attributes of an existing node:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

public void SetCategoryData(string nodePath, string categoryName, string categoryAttributeName, object categoryAttributeValue)

{

string[] aFullPath = nodePath.Split("\\".ToCharArray());

DocManSvc.Node nodeToEdit = this.prxDocmanSvc.GetNodeByPath(ref prxDocManAuthSvc, this.rootNd.ID, aFullPath);

if (nodeToEdit == null) throw new Exception("Node [" + path + "] doesn't exist");

//code to set category's attributes value

//????

}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But I' don't find a way to set those values. I'm looking for a method like "nodeToEdit .SetCategoryAttribute".

Please, can you help me?

Thanks

Take a look at the categories and attributes sample I posted here:

Hi Riccardo,

Mark Hamby of Gen3 Technologies posted a Java example here:

Java - Set/Get attribute value 2

The same sort of logic could be mirrored with C#.

Thanks Jason, your answer is very helpful me. But I have a doubt: your code creates a new document and a new category. In my scenario, the category is already present and I just want to associate it with the document I am entering. Wich value I have to use when I invoke CreateDocument() method?

theMatrix = docManClient.CreateDocument(ref otAuth, PARENT_ID, "The Matrix", null, false, metadata, attachment);

The sample creates a new category and then creates a document using the category that was created. So when the document is created it uses the category that already exists.

The main thing here is the metadata parameter that gets passed into the CreateDocument() call. This is where you specify the category / attribute values.

Ok Jason... it works.

Thank you very much!
