SDK

Greetings,

I need some assistance adding fields to an existing document without a template. I am trying to use the entryinfo method however is am getting an error. here is the code.

 Public Function AssignTemplate(ByVal EntryID As String) As Boolean
        EI = Entry.GetEntryInfo(EntryID, mySess)
        EI.Lock(LockType.Exclusive)
        Dim FVC As New FieldValueCollection(EI.GetFieldValues)
        For z As Integer = 0 To FIELDCOUNT
            FVC(mArray(z, 0).ToString) = IndexArray(z + 1)
            EI.SetFieldValues(FVC)
        Next
        EI.Save()
        EI.Unlock()
        EI.Dispose()
        EI = Nothing

the error I am getting is

"The object is not identified, and cannot be locked or read from.
Parameter name: path" The error indicate the path cannot be found however I am using the enty ID. the Entry.id is valid, and the Session is connected.

version of the SDK is 8.3

Please let me know what I am missing.

You are passing in your EntryID as a string, which is causing your call to GetEntryInfo to use the overload which expects a string path. Instead, pass the EntryID As Integer, which will cause the appropriate version of GetEntryInfo to be called.

Phil,

In addition you only need to call the SetFieldValues() method once to set all of the field values for the document. Here is a code snippet;

   Public Function AssignTemplate(ByVal EntryID As Integer) As Boolean
        Dim returnValue As Boolean = True

        Try
            Dim EI As EntryInfo = Entry.GetEntryInfo(EntryID, mySess)
            Dim FVC As FieldValueCollection = EI.GetFieldValues

            EI.Lock(LockType.Exclusive)

            'FieldValueCollection is a 0 based collection...
            For z = 0 To FVC.Count - 1
                'Update the FieldValueCollection here...
            Next

            'Set the document field values to the new values...
            EI.SetFieldValues(FVC)
            'Persist the changes...
            EI.Save()

            EI.Unlock()
            EI.Dispose()

        Catch ex As Exception

            returnValue = False

        End Try

        Return returnValue

    End Function
