Well, after some searches, I have not solved my problem yet but I think I have a better idea of where the problem is coming.

First, to set a value to a fieldvalue, it is not the "Name" property which should be used! Maybe the SDK documentation could be corrected...

Second, when I want to use the method fieldValue.Add(String), I receive the following error message:

Invalid method call on this type

I know that the script to add the field value to the collection of fieldvalues is correct since I can see it in the XML of the .sdlproj file. However, I cannot set its value.

When I just add the field based on the field definition of the TM (which I now retrieve from a server TM and not a local TM as described in the code above), the value tag in the xml file is added with the following parameter i:nil="true":

<FieldValue i:type=":SingleStringFieldValue">

<Name>Doc. Code</Name>

<Value i:nil="true">

</Value>

</FieldValue>

Maybe that is the reason why I cannot set a value to the field? However, I do not know what this i:nil refers to...

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me on this one.

Have a nice evening.

Could anyone help Laurent with this one?

Hi everyone,

I have implemented the following workaround to solve this problem: I set the value directly in the .sdlproj XML file after it has been created and save the file again:

XmlDocument sdlProjXML = new XmlDocument();

           sdlProjXML.Load(newSDLProject.FilePath);

           XmlNodeList fieldValueNodes = sdlProjXML.GetElementsByTagName("FieldValue");

           foreach (XmlNode fvNode in fieldValueNodes)

           {

                   switch (fvNode["Name"].InnerText)

                   {

                       case "Doc. Code":

                           fvNode["Value"].RemoveAttribute("i:nil");

                           fvNode["Value"].InnerText = dsProjParams.Tables["StudioProjectParams"].Rows[0]["DocCode"].ToString();

                           break;

                       case "Job No.":

                           fvNode["Value"].RemoveAttribute("i:nil");

                           fvNode["Value"].InnerText = dsProjParams.Tables["StudioProjectParams"].Rows[0]["JobNo"].ToString();

                           break;

                   }

           }

           sdlProjXML.Save(newSDLProject.FilePath);

However, this stays a workaround. So, if anyone has the solution using the API directly, please update this post.

Regards,

Laurent

Hi Laurent

I had the same issue couple weeks ago:

community.sdl.com/.../1241.aspx

Unfortunately no one got back to me :-(

Your solution seems to be working for me as well, so thank you very much!

Hi Drongal,

Happy to read that my workaround can help others!

Laurent

The documentation is quite wrong. What is missing from your code is to add properly the value to the collection:

FieldDefinition fieldJobNo = refTM.FieldDefinitions["Doc. Code"];

FieldValue fvJob = fieldJobNo.CreateValue();

fvJob.Name = "Doc. Code";

fvJob.Add("139998");

// and just then :)

tmFields.Add(fvJob);

Dear  Barnabás,

This problem was occurring when developing addins or applications for Studio 2011. The problem was solved in the API released for Studio 2014.

Hi Laurent,

I am using API for Studio 2014, but projTMSettings.ProjectSettings comes back with error and no reference.  What is the correct way with API for Studio 2014?

Thank you!

Rieko Matsunaga

Dear Rieko,

Could you please give more details on your issue? A few more lines of code maybe?

Is projTMSettings assigned before you call it?

Regards,

Laurent
