Question

I am using the following link’s code to process metadata fields:-

https://code.google.com/p/tridion-practice/wiki/ChangeContentOrMetadata

But when I try to assign value to metadata field of date type then I am getting the following xml validation error:-

”
System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1
[myPorject.serviceReference.CoreServiceFault]: XML validation error. Reason: The ‘uuid:myUUID:dateField’ element is invalid – The value ’10/4/2012 03:04:00 AM’ is invalid according to its datatype ‘http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema:dateTime’ – The string ’10/4/2012 03:04:00 AM’ is not a valid DateTime value.. (Fault Detail is equal to
myPorject.serviceReference.CoreServiceFault)”

No matter whether I assign the value as string or DateTime data type I am getting the same error, I have also tried to overload the AddValue method with a Datetime data type but nothing has worked so far.

AddValue method’s code snippet:-

     public void AddValue(string value1)
    {
        string value = string.IsNullOrEmpty(value1) ? null : value1; ;
        XmlElement newElement = fields.AddFieldElement(definition);
        if (value != null) newElement.InnerText = value;
    }

Please suggest solution for both Date and Number data type. Thanks in advance

After some trouble shooting I finally resolve the issue and along with format of date. For this I need to match the time zone of my local machine with the server’s Time zone.

And below is the code of overloaded method:-

      public void AddValue(DateTime value1)
    {
        DateTime value = value1 == null ? DateTime.MinValue : value1;

        XmlElement newElement = fields.AddFieldElement(definition);
        if (value != null) newElement.InnerText = value.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss");
    }
