This example shows how to set part numbers using default serial numbers.
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 SerialNumbersCSharp 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, click Add, and click Close). // 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 you have: // * a vault with at least one serial number generator. // * a checked-out file in that vault with its Part Number variable's // default set to a serial number. // 5. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5. // // Postconditions: // 1. Displays the Serial Numbers dialog box. // 2. Select a vault view. // 3. Click Get Vault Serial Number Names. // 4. Displays a message box containing the names of the serial number // generators for the selected vault. // 5. Click OK to close the message box. // 6. Click Browse. // a. Click a checked-out file in the selected vault whose // data card has a Part Number variable. // b. Click Open. // The selected file's path and file name appear in the Serial // Numbers dialog box. // 7. Click Set New Serial Number. // 8. Displays a message box verifying that the Part Number was // set and shows the value of that Part Number. // NOTES: // * The value set for the Part Number is the next number in the first // serial number generator shown in the message box displayed in // step 3. // * Make note of the Part Number. // 9. Click OK to close the message box. // 10. Check in the file whose Part Number was set in step 7, then check out the // file. // 11. Examine the Part Number on the data card of the checked-out file. // 12. Close the Serial Numbers dialog box. //----------------------------------------------------------------------------
