• MessageDisplayPosition displayPosition
• Author author, object item: the item parameter has to be the reference of the item that is to be edited.
• IEnumerable propertyNames: the properties of the item have to be passed as collection of strings.

Example 1: Defining a DataFormMessage

C#

	    Club chelsea = new Club()
            {
                Name = "Chelsea",
                StadiumCapacity = 42055,
                Established = new DateTime(1905, 1, 1)
            };

        List<string> listProperties = new List<string>();

        listProperties.Add("Name");
        listProperties.Add("StadiumCapacity");
        listProperties.Add("Established");

        DataFormMessage dataFormMessage 
				= new DataFormMessage(MessageDisplayPosition.Inline, this.currentAuthor, chelsea, listProperties);
 	    this.chat.AddMessage(dataFormMessage);
