int sampleId,
int attrId,
DBString attrValue,
DBString notes,
DBString lastEditComment,
ref DateTime lastEditAt
)
Parameters
- sessionId

- sampleId
- Required. Holds the sample ID.
- attrId

- attrValue

- notes

- lastEditComment

- lastEditAt
Required. Holds the date/time when this record was added or last updated, for optimistic concurrency control. The passed value must match the lastEditAt value in the record for the update to succeed.
Output. Holds the date/time value when the record was updated by this called method.
Observe the following input parameter rules:
- Required non-DB* parameters: Must pass a value. Cannot be empty or null.
- Required DB* parameters: Must pass a value. To enter an empty value for the parameter, pass DB*.null (e.g., DBInt.null).
The attribute value or the notes can be set to null in the database by passing DBString.Null for the attrValue or notes parameters respectively. But at least one of these field must have a non-null value. [[Reviewers: I added this statement that was in other xxxAttr Update methods. True for this method?]]
