How to apply a value to a category attribute in C#

Hi,

I'm able to successfully upload a file and apply an existing category using the following C# code:Metadata meta = new Metadata();AttributeGroup[] attgroup = new DocumentManagement.AttributeGroup[1];

attgroup[0] = dm.GetCategoryTemplate(otDMAuth, catID); //Where catID is the objectID of the category

meta.AttributeGroups = attgroup;contextID = dm.CreateDocumentContext(otDMAuth, nodeID, f.Name,objectID = cs.UploadContent(otCSAuth, contextID, fileAtts, inStream);null, false, meta);

But, I can't find any examples in C# on how to actually apply a value to the an attribute item of that category. This particular category has three Text: Field attributes with blank values:

Type

Rows

Attribute Items

Text: Field

1 (1 max)

Category Attribute 1:

Text: Field

1 (locked)

Category Attribute 2:

Text: Field

1 (locked)

Category Attribute 3:

How would I get a value into those fields? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Just what I was looking for ! Thank you :-)

I have a question regarding your code :

If I wanted to update the metadata on a node instead of adding it along with a new document, is this code correct :

Metadata.AttributeGroups = new LL_SR_DocumentManagement.AttributeGroup[1];
Metadata.AttributeGroups[0] = attgroup;

LL_SR_DocumentManagement.Node existingNode = docman.GetNode(otAuth, 172634);
existingNode.Metadata = Metadata;

docman.UpdateNode(otAuth, existingNode);

.....

Hi, Peter.

I think it would be good to check for existing AttributeGroups as part of the Metadata returned with the GetNode call and append the new AttributeGroup if necessary.

Thanks,

Could you please post some sample code for me ?

Hi Dave,

Here is another example, code is taken directly from our production code, but basically we pass in a XML file that has the Category values and document info needed to be added to Livelink.
