Sample Code

1. To apply a red background color to field 1own.FName, a valid XML looks like the following:
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><ParentField><Field><FieldName>1own.FName</FieldName><FieldBackgroundColor>#ff0000</FieldBackgroundColor></Field></ParentField>
   
   VB.NET
   objQFE.LoadXML("<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8"" standalone=""yes""?><ParentField><Field><FieldName>1own.FName</FieldName><FieldBackgroundColor>#ff0000</FieldBackgroundColor></Field></ParentField>")
   
   C#
   objQFE.LoadXML("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding="\UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?><ParentField><Field><FieldName>1own.FName</FieldName><FieldBackgroundColor>#ff0000</FieldBackgroundColor></Field></ParentField>")
   
   
   
2. To make 1own.FName field Semi Required, a valid XML looks like the following:
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><ParentField><Field><FieldName>1own.FName</FieldName><SemiRequired>true</SemiRequired></Field></ParentField>
   
   VB.NET
   objQFE.LoadXML("<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8"" standalone=""yes""?><ParentField><Field><FieldName>1own.FName</FieldName><SemiRequired>true</SemiRequired></Field></ParentField>")
   
   C#
   objQFE.LoadXML("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding="\UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?><ParentField><Field><FieldName>1own.FName</FieldName><SemiRequired>true</SemiRequired></Field></ParentField>")
