For IERUDBCell or IERUCustomField, sets or returns the contents of a Database Cell or Custom field.

For IERUDashboardCell, returns but does not set the contents of a Dashboard Cell.

 

Syntax

C++

HRESULT get_Content(VARIANT* pContent)

HRESULT put_Content(VARIANT myContent)

Scripting languages

Value = object.Content

object.Content = Value

Remarks

Content is the default property for both IERUDBCell and IERUCustomField.

If a Custom Field has not yet been assigned a value, this property's value is undefined. You can check for this condition by first accessing the HasValue property.

After assigning the Content property of a Database Cell or Custom Field, you must call Update on the Database Row or Custom Field Set to apply the changes to the server.

Certain columns types can be cleared by setting cell value to VARIANT EMPTY.  You cannot use EMPTY for the following column types: attachments, comments, history, or roomid.

The following table lists the data type stored in VARIANT for each type of data that a Database Cell or Custom Field can contain:
