// Sets the poll properties (the poll is global)
newPoll.PollDisplayName = "Color poll";
newPoll.PollCodeName = "ColorPoll";
newPoll.PollTitle = "Color poll";
newPoll.PollQuestion = "What is your favorite color?";
newPoll.PollResponseMessage = "Thank you for voting.";
newPoll.PollAllowMultipleAnswers = false;
newPoll.PollAccess = SecurityAccessEnum.AllUsers;

// Saves the new poll to the database
PollInfoProvider.SetPollInfo(newPoll);

```

{

// Loops through individual polls
foreach (PollInfo poll in polls)
{
    // Updates the poll properties
    poll.PollDisplayName = poll.PollDisplayName.ToUpper();

    // Saves the updated poll to the database
    PollInfoProvider.SetPollInfo(poll);
