.setValue for IPublishedContent?
Hi guys,

I'm trying to set all bools for a specific document type to false but I can't seem to figure out how.

Using the code below I can retrieve all pages with the "notForSale" set to false. However I would like to change that value to true, but how?

I can't use .setValue("notForAle", "1") on IPublishedContent
```
    foreach (var item in ((IPublishedContent)Umbraco.Content(1128)).Descendants().Where(m => m.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("productPage") && m.GetPropertyValue<bool>("notForSale") == false))
    {
       item.SetValue not working
    }
```

Hi MBE

IPublishedContent is only for reading data. For all changes to the database use IContent and ContentService, read about content service - https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Reference/Management/Services/ContentService/

Thanks,

Alex

Also, do not use .Descendants() it's a very slow method

So your code will look like:

var contentItem = ApplicationContext.Services.ContentService.GetById(id);
contentItem.SetValue("propertyAlias", value);
ApplicationContext.Services.ContentService.SaveAndPublish(contentItem);

Hi Alex,

Thank you very much for your response! I wasn't aware of the difference between IPublichedContent and IContent so thank you for helping me out in that regard.

However, I can get it to change for a single page. But how can I loop through every page of a specific documentType?

//Mike

EDIT: I found a way, probably not the best solution but it worked:
```
@{
    Layout = "Master.cshtml";
    IContentService contentService = ApplicationContext.Services.ContentService;
    var contentItem = ApplicationContext.Services.ContentService.GetById(1064);


    foreach (var item in contentItem.Descendants())
    {
        if (item.HasProperty("ikkeTilSalg"))
        {
            item.SetValue("ikkeTilSalg", "1");
            ApplicationContext.Services.ContentService.SaveAndPublish(item);
        }
    }
}
```
Thank you Alex, for providing useful links and info's!
