Hi all,

Quick question: The XML DataLinq key tutorial that ROSS has provided shows you how to set up a key, but only with an actual XML file. Where as we are running XML statistics but over an RSS URL, so it looks differently than the XML stats in the tutorial ROSS produced. Can anyone explain this better or provide some documentation that better explains setting up the key in the "Set DataLinq Properties" window? Thanks!

@garner does this only apply to elements represented by numbers or can this be text as well?

#XPression

To my knowledge - and from what I've tried, Datalinq keys themselves can only be numerical values.

However - the content displayed from the Data Source feed can be any string.

Where can I find the tutorial that you mentioned about setting up an XML Datalinq key? I am having a lot of trouble using only the information provided in the documentation.

Is it possible to use these Keys with ADOOB Datalinq to Excel as well? And is it possible to adress more than one parameter in the Datalinq properties with scripting?

We need to change "Row" and "Table" with a MOS published text. Is that possible?

Yes, there are some helpful videos here: http://xpression.rossvideo.com/videos

Thank you for the link Brain. It brought me pretty far, but now my script is not working. Maybe you can help me out:

dim AbstimmungNr as xpdatalinqkey

dim AbstimmungWert as Integer

self.getkeybyname("Abstimmung-Nr", AbstimmungNr)

AbstimmungWert = AbstimmungNr.toInt + 5

AbstimmungNr = AbstimmungWert.toString

I just want to add 5 to the Datalinq Key value. is that possible?

#XPression

The error is on the self.getkeybyname line. I'm not sure what self is, is that the Scene? (it depends where your script is located)

From the xpScene you first need to call GetDatalinqKeys, then from that object you can call GetKeyByName.

#XPression

Yes, the script is located on the scene, so self is referring to the scene. I'm not sure how I call the GetDatalinqKeys. I tried following:

dim AbstimmungNr as xpdatalinqkey

dim AbstimmungWert as Integer

self.GetDatalinqKeys("ABSTIMMUNG KANTON")

self.getkeybyname("Abstimmung-Nr", AbstimmungNr)

AbstimmungWert = AbstimmungNr.toInt + 5

AbstimmungNr = AbstimmungWert.toString

ABSTIMMUNG KANTON is the name of the scene. Could you pleas make an example how to call up the Keys?
