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,

Thanks for the reply. But I want to update this property dynamically in different environments (test, UAT, prod, etc.). updating this value in feature.xml file would raise the need of changing the value in solution package for every deployment in different environment, which is not an acceptable solution.

UPDATE on above code:

This error occurs only in feature activated event, in deactivating event the property gets updated.

Is there a specific reason behind this?
