This example shows how to add a file to the named Bill of Materials (BOM) of a file in the vault.
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 EdmBOM_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).
// 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. Ensure that the vault contains the BOM layout.
// To inspect the
existing layouts:
// a. Open the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional
Administration tool.
// b. Log into vault_name.
// c. Expand vault_name
> Bills of Materials.
// d. Verify that layout, BOM, exists.
//
6. Ensure that an assembly and its parts exist in a folder of
// the vault.
// 7. Check in a text file named "temp" in the assembly directory.
// 8. Modify the path to "temp" in the code.
// 9. Ensure that a named Bill of Materials exists for the assembly.
// a. Open File Explorer on a vault_name view.
// b. Click the assembly.
// c. Click the Bill of Materials
tab.
// d. Click BOM.
// e. If a named Bill of Materials does not exist in the BOM
list:
// 1. Click Save > Save As in
the tab toolbar.
// 2. In the Save As dialog, click
Save.
//10. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5.
//
// Postconditions:
// 1. The Bill of Materials dialog box displays.
// a. Select a vault_name view.
// b. Click Select file.
// c. In the Select File dialog:
// 1. Click the assembly specified in
Preconditions step 6.
// 2. Click Open.
// d. Click Get BOM.
// Displays message boxes containing:
// * Version information for the named BOM.
// * Row and column information about a BOM
view in the BOM layout
// for the selected assembly.
// e. Click OK in each message box.
// 2. Inserts a row for "temp" after the first row in the BOM.
// 3. Close the Bill of Materials dialog box.
// 4. Verify the new row in the named BOM of the assembly in vault_name
view.
