Parameters

bsSerNoName

Name of the serial number generator to use to generate a new serial number (see Remarks)

lParentWnd

Parent window handle; passed to a serial number add-in, if it exists

bsFilePath

Path to the file for which to generate a serial number

lFolderID

ID of the file's parent folder

lFileID

ID of the file for which to generate a serial number

lCardID

ID of the data card in which the serial number is generated

lCardControlID

ID of the control for which to generate a serial number

Return Value

This method is superseded by IEdmSerNoGen7:AllocSerNoValue which provides the ability to push back serial numbers that you don't need using IEdmSerNoValue.

bsSerNoName is the name you specify in the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional Administration tool when you create a serial number generator.

Return codes:

• S_OK: The method successfully executed.
• E_EDM_INVALID_SERIAL_NUMBER_NAME: The bsSerNoName argument is invalid.
