Using UpdateItem to update Weight item

Question

Hi, I would like to know how do i update an existing entry in HealthVault using xml. I have

Weight objType = (Weight)personObj.SelectedRecord.GetItem(ItemID, HealthRecordItemSections.Xml);

Rather than setting values like

objType .Value.Kilograms = 50;

i would like to pass following xml to it

<weight><when><date><y>2011</y><m>3</m><d>15</d></date></when><value><kg>50</kg></value></weight>

How can i set the xml to Weight object and update it??

Hi,

I don't understand the thread you pointed. My code

Weight objType = (Weight)personObj.SelectedRecord.GetItem(ItemID, HealthRecordItemSections.Xml);

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();

doc.LoadXml(xmlString);

HealthRecordItem typeId = new HealthRecordItem(objType, doc);

personObj.SelectedRecord.UpdateItem(typeId);

It is giving me error saying not a valid id? I know i am doing some thing wrong with HealthRecordItem, don't know how to set it?

You need the UID for that record type....

string xml = "<weight><when><date><y>2011</y><m>3</m><d>15</d></date></when><value><kg>50</kg></value></weight>";
        XPathNavigator nav = XElement.Parse(xml).CreateNavigator();
 
 	// this may not be required, only if your using a page base class
        base.PersonInfo = WebApplicationUtilities.LoadPersonInfoFromCookie(Context);
 
        HealthRecordItem hri = new HealthRecordItem(Guid.Parse("3d34d87e-7fc1-4153-800f-f56592cb0d17"), nav);
        PersonInfo.SelectedRecord.NewItem(hri);

You could not hard type the UID and use:

Weight.TypeId

However if you using generics, you'll want to use the literal, I get them all from here:
