I have a feature receiver for BCS model (Farm feature) and I am trying to update the value of a property "SiteUrl" dynamically in this receiver.

Below is the code:

properties.Definition.Properties["SiteUrl"].Value = "Some value";
properties.Feature.Properties.Update();

But I get the following error on the last line:

"Updating the properties of a feature definition is not supported."

Can anyone provide any inputs?

Hi,

Per my knowledge, the SPFeature.Properties object is used to get the collection of properties for the feature.For the property, it is used to internal set which means the code in the same assembly can read and set the property, but other code can only read the property.

I suggest you can directly add the property into the feature.xml.

Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

What is internal set property in c#?
