Tag update from API

I cannot figure out how to refresh Tag from .NET like the ASSIGNTAG command does

 

I am able to set the properties that the Tag is build from with DataLinksManager->Setproperties

I can see the properties change on the component. But the tag is not refreshed.

 

Is there some kind of .NET command that will rebuild the Tag?

Setting the Tag value to an empty string will cause a recalculation of the tag. More info here: https://adndevblog.typepad.com/autocad/2012/10/autocad-pidplant-3d-is-there-any-api-to-recalculate-t...

 

Sample code (Test thoroughly before using on a live project):

StringCollection strNames = new StringCollection() { "Tag" };
StringCollection strNewValues = new StringCollection() { "" };

foreach (int rowId in rowIdsList)
{
	dlm.SetProperties(rowId, strNames, strNewValues);
}

dlm.AcceptChanges();

Thank you for the reply.

It works when I assign the desired value to Tag property itself with SetProperties.
It does not cause a refresh when setting Tag to blank.
