This example shows how to create an application that displays a form where a user can select a vault in which to log in and display information about that 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 > C# > Windows Forms Application. // b. Type Exercise1CSharp in Name. // c. Click Browse and browse 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, select Add Reference, select // Framework in the left-side panel, browse to the top folder of your // SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional installation, locate and select // EPDM.Interop.epdm.dll, click Open, and click Add). // 3. Add EPDM.Interop.EPDMResultCode.dll as a reference (click Browse, locate and // select EPDM.Interop.EPDMResultCode.dll, click Open, and click Add). // 4. Right-click EPDM.Interop.epdm in References, select Properties, and set // Embed Interop Types to False to handle methods that pass arrays of // structures. // 5. Repeat step 5 for EPDM.Interop.EPDMResultCode. // 6. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5. // // Postconditions: // 1. Displays a dialog. // 2. Select a vault. // 3. Click Log in and display vault information. // A message box pops up containing the version of // SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional installed on your computer. // 4. Click OK to close the message box. // Another message box pops up containing the path of the selected // vault view folder. // 5. Click OK to close the message box. // 6. Type the name of a nonexistent vault in the drop-down combo box. // 7. Click Log in and display vault information. // 8. A message box pops up instructing you to type or select // a valid database. // 9. Click OK to close the message box. // 10. Close the dialog box. //---------------------------------------------------------------------------- //Form1.cs using System; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Diagnostics; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using EPDM.Interop.epdm; using EPDM.Interop.EPDMResultCode; namespace Exercise1CSharp { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } void Exercise1CSharp_Load(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e) { try { //Declare and create an instance of IEdmVault5 IEdmVault5 vault1 = new EdmVault5(); //Cast IEdmVault5 to IEdmVault8 IEdmVault8 vault = (IEdmVault8)vault1; EdmViewInfo[] Views = null; vault.GetVaultViews(out Views, false); VaultsComboBox.Items.Clear(); foreach (EdmViewInfo View in Views) { VaultsComboBox.Items.Add(View.mbsVaultName); } if (VaultsComboBox.Items.Count > 0) { VaultsComboBox.Text = (string)VaultsComboBox.Items[0]; } } catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException ex) { MessageBox.Show("HRESULT = 0x" + ex.ErrorCode.ToString("X") + " " + ex.Message); } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); } } private void LoginButton_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e) { try { //Declare and create an instance of IEdmVault5 object IEdmVault5 vault = new EdmVault5(); //Log into the selected vault as the current user vault.LoginAuto(VaultsComboBox.Text, this.Handle.ToInt32()); //Display the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional version int VerMajor = 0; int VerMinor = 0; vault.GetVersion(ref VerMajor, ref VerMinor); MessageBox.Show("SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional " + "version is " + VerMajor.ToString() + "." + VerMinor.ToString()); //Display the path of the vault view folder MessageBox.Show("The path of the vault view " + "folder is \"" + vault.RootFolderPath + "\"."); } catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException ex) { switch (ex.ErrorCode) { case (int)EdmResultErrorCodes_e.E_EDM_CANT_OPEN_DATABASE: MessageBox.Show("Could not open database.
