Move elments or packages via Automation

[bittercoder]

Is there any way to "move" an element or package from it's current package to a new/different package via Automation, or can this only be done by manipulating the database itself?

You should be able to just change the Element.PackageID value to the ID of the desired package and perform Update().  I have just quickly tested this and it appears to work.

Code: [Select]

element.PackageID = targetPackageID
element.Update
repository.RefreshModelView targetPackageID
Likewise, to move a Package change the Package.ParentID value.

I just assumed that property was read only ;o) woops.. heh

Thanks for the help!
