This example shows how to add a file outside the vault to the vault root.
NOTE: If using the primary interop assembly provided with SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional, see Using .NET Framework 4.0 in Stand-alone Applications.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Preconditions: // 1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio. // a. Click File > New > Project > Visual C# > Windows Forms Application. // b. Type AddFiles in Name. // c. Click Browse and navigate to the folder where to create // the project. // d. Click OK. // e. Click Show All Files in the Solution Explorer toolbar and expand // Form1.cs in the Solution Explorer. // f. Replace the code in Form1.cs with this code. // g. To create the form, replace the code in Form1.Designer.cs with this code. // 2. Add EPDM.Interop.epdm.dll as a reference (right-click the project // name in the Solution Explorer, click Add Reference, click // Assemblies > Framework in the left-side panel, browse to the top folder of // your SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional installation, locate and click // EPDM.Interop.epdm.dll, click Open, and click Add). // 3. Add EPDM.Interop.EPDMResultCode.dll as a reference (click Browse, locate and // click EPDM.Interop.EPDMResultCode.dll, click Open, click Add, and click Close). // 4. Right-click EPDM.Interop.epdm in References, click Properties, and set // Embed Interop Types to False to handle methods that pass arrays of // structures. // 5. Run the Administration tool, log in as admin, expand the vault, // right-click File Types, click Duplicate file name settings, and // click Do not allow duplicate files names in this file vault. // 6 Ensure that at least one file exists in a subfolder in the vault and // the same-named file exists outside the vault. // 7. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5. // // Postconditions: // 1. Displays the Add file to vault root dialog box. // a. Select a vault view. // b. Click Browse to a file outside the vault. // 1. Locate a file outside the vault that exists in // a subfolder in the vault. // 2. Click Open. // c. Click Add file to vault root to add the selected file to the // root folder of the vault. // d. Displays a message box warning you that the selected file is not // unique in the vault, but that the file will be added to the vault root. // e. Click OK. // 2. Close the Add file to vault root dialog box. // 3. Examine the vault root. //----------------------------------------------------------------------------
