Backendless c# desktop application saving data but by empty or null values

Question

I have a desktop app written in c# and I added app id and key id and used this code to add data to database but the data is always empty or null.

var film = new Film();
film.setName(“soooft”);
film.setGenre(“aaa”);
film.setPlot(“fdgveqw”);
film.setUrl(“gdfwrw”);

var f = Backendless.Data.Of<Film>().Save(film);

Answer 1

I googled Backendless and it's a third-party solution. (See https://github.com/Backendless/.NET-SDK)

Usage gets explained at https://backendless.com/docs/dotnet/data_data_object.html

But I'm suspicious about why you use setName(), setGenre(), setPlot and setUrl in your code. Seems your Film class is missing properties. I would expect you'd be writing this instead:

var film = new Film();
film.Name = “soooft”;
film.Genre = “aaa”;
film.Plot = “fdgveqw”;
film.Url = “gdfwrw”;

But that would mean those fields are declared as public properties in your class like this:

public class Film
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Genre { get; set; }
    public string Plot { get; set; }
    public string Url { get; set; }
}

So I don't know why you have those setName and other methods. The Backendless API specifies that these fields need to be public properties so it can read them through reflection. Your code seems to suggests that they're not proper properties as indicated by their example and my code of the Film() class.
