PortalUrl and PortalName are read only
I am getting a compile error on this example for both PortalName and PortalUrl indicating they are read-only. Is the documentation on this incorrect?

Error 2 Property or indexer 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite.PortalName' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only

Edit: ahhh, this happens only in a sandbox solution - in a farm solution it works just fine.
