Set Get Parcel UDP Properties for existing general classification

[eadonan]

This is similar if not the exact question asked in a previous post, although great information the previous answer was for custom UDP's not the existing General UDP's.

I need to get/set the user defined property for the existing properties; Parcel Number, Parcel Address, Parcel Tax ID under the classification "General".

The process doesn't work the same as when accessing custom parcel UDP. For that I used

Dim parcelUDPLocation As AeccUserDefinedPropertyClassification = _
oAeccDB.ParcelUserDefinedPropertyClassifications.Item(0)

 to get the classification, then

Dim valueUDP = parcelUDPLocation.UserDefinedProperties.Item(0)

If valueUDP.Name = "_state" Then
parcelUDP.state = oAeccParcel.GetUserDefinedPropertyValue(valueUDP)

 to access the properties. The actual code is looping through all the classifications and properties to set the appropriate values.

This is obvious when attempting to access the internal properties; ie Parcel Number, Parcel Address, Parcel Tax ID the classification is not even available if when using similar methods as above. So it must be a different approach.

I also looked around with accessing the UDP properties from the AeccSite.Parcels.Properties.GetUserDefinedPropertyClassification, but I need more information to go forward.

As always, any help is appreciated.

Eric, I have been unable to find a method to access those properties. I've long since abandoned them and just add my own.

Hi Eric,

Looks like these properties are not exposed through API.
I will check with my colleagues if there exists any workaround; otherwise I need to log an API wish list for the same.

Thanks,

Thanks Jeff,

I didn't have my hopes too high, but thought it would be very nice for my purposes to be able to use the "Address" field to concatenate with the "Number" field in the name template to use as the name for our tracts and display correctly in the parcel label. Looks like I'll add a few more functions and create the name field programmatically.
