Set XML property (Set multi-value property)

The following example shows you how to set a property whose value is XML, for example a list of values.

C# example

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using Independentsoft.Webdav;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

            using (WebdavClient client = new WebdavClient(credential))
            {
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://myserver/dav/");

                XNamespace ns = "http://example.com/ns";

                XElement tags = new XElement(ns + "tags",
                    new XElement(ns + "tag", "finance"),
                    new XElement(ns + "tag", "2026"),
                    new XElement(ns + "tag", "approved"));

                await client.SetProperty("documents/report.pdf", new Property(tags));

                Property property = await client.GetProperty("documents/report.pdf", new PropertyName("tags", "http://example.com/ns"));

                foreach (XElement tag in property.Element.Elements(ns + "tag"))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(tag.Value);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Threading.Tasks
Imports System.Xml.Linq
Imports Independentsoft.Webdav

Namespace Sample
    Module Program
        Sub Main(args As String())
            RunAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult()
        End Sub

        Private Async Function RunAsync() As Task
            Dim credential As New NetworkCredential("username", "password")

            Using client As New WebdavClient(credential)
                client.BaseAddress = New Uri("https://myserver/dav/")

                Dim ns As XNamespace = "http://example.com/ns"

                Dim tags As New XElement(ns + "tags",
                    New XElement(ns + "tag", "finance"),
                    New XElement(ns + "tag", "2026"),
                    New XElement(ns + "tag", "approved"))

                Await client.SetProperty("documents/report.pdf", New [Property](tags))

                Dim prop As [Property] = Await client.GetProperty("documents/report.pdf", New PropertyName("tags", "http://example.com/ns"))

                For Each tag As XElement In prop.Element.Elements(ns + "tag")
                    Console.WriteLine(tag.Value)
                Next
            End Using
        End Function
    End Module
End Namespace
