How to modify a date attribute in a category

[MarcHoeijmans]

Hello,
How can I change a date attribute value in a category. Other attributes (string values) can I change. I retrieve the XML of a category and modify the nodes with Xpath instructions.
Regards,

a snippet from some C# code where I use dates.I do not use the xml methods so don't know if it helps or not.It is a little contorted to undesratnd but since you are doing the string it may help you.This is a cut and paste from different places so not a very good example

//Initialize any LAPI Objects			
LLValue attrValuesPath = (new LLValue()).setAssocNotSet();
LAPI_ATTRIBUTES	attr3 = new LAPI_ATTRIBUTES(session);

System.DateTime testDate = new System.DateTime(intLLISS_YEAR, intLLISS_MONTH, intLLISS_DAY);//make up a time stamp
LLValueNET DateValue = new LLValueNET(testDate);
LLValue attrValues3 = (new LLValue()).setList();

attrValues3.add(DateValue);

//catVersion hold the template of the category,"Issue date" is a filed and I am putting a date value on it

if(attr3.AttrSetValues(catVersion, "Issue Date", LAPI_ATTRIBUTES.ATTR_DATAVALUES, attrValuesPath, attrValues3) != 0)
	{
	WriteErrors(session, "Adding Issue date Failed.");								
	}

//Follow it with the full call

if(doc.SetObjectAttributesEx(objID, catVersion) !=0)
		{
WriteErrors(session, "SetObjectAttributesEx failed.");	
		}

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?
