Updating Components using the Core Service in SDL Tridion 2011

Question

I am updating a Component using Core Service in Tridion 2011.

The sample code is as follows,

string COMPONENT_URI = \"tcm:8-674\";
string SCHEMA_URI

Your code attempts to save the XML DOM to a file.

XDocument.Save(string fileName) - Serialize this XDocument to a file, overwriting an existing file, if it exists.

You should use something like this:

using (var client = new SessionAwareCoreServiceClient(netTcpBinding, remoteAddress))
{
    ReadOptions readOptions = new ReadOptions();
    ComponentData component = client.Read(compTcmUri, readOptions) as ComponentData;
    XDocument dom = XDocument.Parse(component.Content);
    // do your modifications to dom
    component.Content = dom.ToString();
    component = client.Update(component, readOptions) as ComponentData;

    Console.WriteLine("Component updated: " + component.LocationInfo.WebDavUrl);
}
