Atom

When set to True, causes the currently running method to abort. Methods that always finish quickly (i.e.have no length file operations or network communications) are not affected. If no method is running, then this property is automatically reset to False when the next method is called. When the abort occurs, this property is reset to False. Both synchronous and asynchronous method calls can be aborted. (A synchronous method call could be aborted by setting this property from a separate thread.)

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

• A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
• A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
• An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: True means success, False means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.

Number of entries in the Atom document.

If set to True, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is False. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0"

Adds a new element to the Atom document. The tag is a string such as "title", "subtitle", "summary", etc. Returns the index of the element added, or -1 for failure.

Adds a new date-formatted element to the Atom document. The tag is a string such as "created", "modified", "issued", etc. The dateTimeStr should be an RFC822 formatted date/time string such as "Tue, 25 Sep 2012 12:25:32 -0500". Returns the index of the element added, or -1 for failure.

Adds a new date-formatted element to the Atom document. The tag is a string such as "created", "modified", "issued", etc. Returns the index of the element added, or -1 for failure.

Adds a new HTML formatted element to the Atom document. Returns the index of the element added, or -1 for failure.

Adds a new XHTML formatted element to the Atom document. Returns the index of the element added, or -1 for failure.

Adds a new XML formatted element to the Atom document. Returns the index of the element added, or -1 for failure.

Adds an "entry" Atom XML document to the caller's Atom document.

Adds a link to the Atom document.

Adds a person to the Atom document. The tag should be a string such as "author", "contributor", etc. If a piece of information is not known, an empty string or NULL value may be passed.

Removes the Nth occurrence of a given element from the Atom document. Indexing begins at 0. For example, to remove the 2nd category, set tag = "category" and index = 1.

Remove an attribute from an element.The index should be 0 unless there are multiple elements having the same tag, in which case it selects the Nth occurrence based on the index ( 0 = first occurrence ).

Deletes a person from the Atom document. The tag is a string such as "author". The index should be 0 unless there are multiple elements having the same tag, in which case it selects the Nth occurrence based on the index. For example, DeletePerson("author",2) deletes the 3rd author.

Download an Atom feed from the Internet and load it into the Atom object.

Returns True for success, False for failure.

Creates an asynchronous task to call the DownloadAtom method with the arguments provided.

Returns None on failure

Returns the content of the Nth element having a specified tag.

Returns None on failure

Returns the value of an element's attribute. The element is selected by the tag name and the index (the Nth element having a specific tag) and the attribute is selected by name.

Returns None on failure

The number of elements having a specific tag.

Returns an element's value as a date/time in an RFC822 formatted string, such as such as "Tue, 25 Sep 2012 12:25:32 -0500".

Returns None on failure

Returns an element's value as a date/time object.

Returns None on failure

Returns the Nth entry as an Atom object. (Indexing begins at 0)

Returns None on failure

Returns the href attribute of the link having a specified "rel" attribute (such as "service.feed", "alternate", etc.).

Returns None on failure

Returns a piece of information about a person. To get the 2nd author's name, call GetPersonInfo("author",1,"name").

Returns None on failure

Returns the value of an attribute on the top-level XML node. The tag of a top-level Atom XML node is typically "feed" or "entry", and it might have attributes such as "xmlns" and "xml:lang".

Returns None on failure

True (1) if the element exists in the Atom document. Otherwise 0.

Loads the caller of the task's async method.

Returns True for success, False for failure.

Loads the Atom document from an XML string.

Returns True for success, False for failure.

Initializes the Atom document to be a new "entry".

Initializes the Atom document to be a new "feed".

Adds or replaces an attribute on an element.

Adds or replaces an attribute on the top-level XML node of the Atom document.

Serializes the Atom document to an XML string.

Returns None on failure

Replaces the content of an element.

Replaces the content of a date-formatted element. The index should be an RFC822 formatted date/time string.

Replaces the content of a date-formatted element.

Replaces the content of an HTML element.

Replaces the content of an XHTML element.

Replaces the content of an XML element.

Replaces the content of a person. To update the 3rd author, call UpdatePerson("author",2,"new name","new URL","new email"). If a piece of information is not known, pass an empty string or a NULL.
