The Atg.DotNet.WebService.RepositoryItem class is designed to manage XML serialization and deserialization for easy interoperability with the .NET Web services framework.
To serialize or deserialize a RepositoryItem, you need only to pass in the RepositoryName and RepositoryId. When you are working with content for the first time, you also need to call setPropertyType to instruct the deserializer/serializer to use a specific output data type.
Properties
Dirty
Determines the overall dirtiness of an object by specifying whether all properties are clean (false) or one of more properties are dirty (true).
ItemDescriptorName
Name of the item descriptor associated with the object’s RepositoryItem.
Properties
List of properties for this RepositoryItem.
RepositoryId
ID provided to the object’s RepositoryItem representation.
RepositoryName
Name of the repository that the RepositoryItem is part of.
Constructors
RepositoryItem()
Constructs a new, empty RepositoryItem object. When you serialize or deserialize a property with a value that is a pointer to a RepositoryItem, be sure to supply it a RepositoryName, RepositoryId, and ItemDescriptorName when you invoke the setRepositoryItem method.
RepositoryItem(string)
Constructs a new RepositoryItem in the ATG platform, populating it with values parsed from the XML instance of the Web service call. The XML instance is a by-product from the Web service call generation.
Methods
clearPropertyValues
Clears all property values for a given RepositoryItem. Before using RepositoryItemSerializer.deserialize, it’s a good idea to use this method to clear all previous values.
isPropertyDirty
Determines whether a given property value is dirty (true) or clean (false).
setPropertyDirty
Designates a given property as dirty.
getPropertyValue
Returns the value provided for a property in the ATG platform. If the property does not exist in the ATG platform, an error of type ATGWS.NoSuchPropertyException is thrown.
setPropertyValue
Sets a value for a property in the ATG platform.
getPropertyType
Returns the property’s XML data type.
setPropertyType
Specifies the XML data type for the property value.
serialize
Creates a string representation of an XML document for the RepositoryItem.
