This example shows how to create a folder and set its data card and permissions.
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 AddFolder_CSharp 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. Right-click EPDM.Interop.epdm in References, click Properties, and set
// Embed Interop Types to False to handle methods that pass arrays of
// structures.
//
4. Ensure that the vault has user, Engineer1, and group,
// Administrators.
// 5. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. Displays the Add
folder dialog box.
// a. Select a vault view.
// b. Click Browse
for parent folder.
// 1. Locate and click a
folder
in the vault.
// 2. Click OK.
// c. Click
Add folder.
//
1. Creates an IEdmFolderData5 object with:
//
* Folder user permissions for user, Engineer1.
//
* Folder group permissions for group, Administrators.
//
* File data card for .doc files.
//
2. Displays a message that folder, Temp, is added as a subfolder to
//
the folder clicked in Postconditions 1b1.
//
3. Click OK.
// 2. Close the Add
folder dialog box.
//
3. Open File Explorer on a vault view and observe the new sub-folder,
//
Temp.
//
4. Open the Administration tool.
// a. Log in to the vault selected in step 1a.
// b. Expand Groups and double-click Administrators.
// c. Click Folder Permissions.
// d. Inspect the folder permissions for Temp and click
OK.
// e. Expand Users and double-click Engineer1.
// f. Repeat steps 4c and 4d.
// 5. Exit the Administration tool.
