    AddFileShared, howto?

    1-MQBAOS Oct 16, 2009 4:01 AM

      is there any code example on how i can use .AddFileShared?

       

      what i am trying to do is add a reference to another pdm/conisio folder, so it can be opened from there while the actual file is located somewhere else...isnt it what addFileShared does?

       

      there is no code example in Programmer's reference guide 2009

       

      here is my code from C#

       

      folder = (

      IEdmFolder5)vault.GetObject(EdmObjectType.EdmObject_Folder, folderID);


      folder.AddFileShared(fileID, 0);

      it doen't do anything, no reference or anything is added to the folder

       

      EdmLib v5.13.0.0

          Hi Max,

          Your code looks correct. Have you verified:

          1. That the file ID is valid?

          2. That it isn't enough to do a manual refresh in the Windows Explorer afterwards (i.e. the link is actually created).

           

          You can also try out the code below, which works for me. It lets you browse for a file and a destination folder, shares the file and makes sure the destination folder is refreshed in the Explorer.

           

          Cheers,
