Folder searches in context of a workspace

WorkSite 8

Sorry folks I'm being really thick but I can't see how to search for a folder within the context of a WorkSpace.
I can find a Workspace (e.g. name=Client001) using the SearchWorkspaces method on IManSession.
I can also find folders (e.g. name=Matter001) using SearchProfiledFolders method on IManArea but this returns all folders with the matching name which may be in any WorkSpace (e.g Client001, Client002 and Client003) when all I want is the matching folders in the Client001 workspace.

I sort of expected something an approprate attribute in the imProfileAttributeID but can;t for the life of me see anything.

Thanks in advance

A DocumentFolder's default profile info is stored in the AdditionalProperties collection, so you cannot search for folders using SearchProfiledFolders. ProfiledFolder actually means a folder object that has an IManProfile associated with it to store its attributes. Currently, only a workspace is this type of folder object; thus you may only search for workspaces using SearchProfileFolders (or alternatively using SearchWorkspaces).

If you want to search for folders by a custom field value, specifically under a specified workspace, you would need to query for the custom field value in the folder's AddtionalProperties collection. This implies iterating the folder collection that is returned by IManWorkspace.DocumentFolders. Like so:

[C#]
IManDMS oDMS = new ManDMSClass();
IManSession oSess = oDMS.Sessions.Add("ntdevsupport");
oSess.TrustedLogin();
ManStrings oList = new ManStringsClass();
oList.Add (oSess.PreferredDatabase.Name);
IManWorkspaceSearchParameters oWParms = oDMS.CreateWorkspaceSearchParameters();
IManProfileSearchParameters oParms = oDMS.CreateProfileSearchParameters();
// Search for workspaces by Client, e.g., CUSTOM1="5679".
oParms.Add(imProfileAttributeID.imProfileCustom1, "5679");
// Search workspaces
IManFolders oWorkspaces = oSess.SearchWorkspaces(oList, oParms, oWParms);
// Check result set
if (oWorkspaces.Empty == false)
{
// Assuming the first item in the result set is the target workspace
IManWorkspace oWorkspace = (IManWorkspace) oWorkspaces.ItemByIndex(1);
// Search for folders belonging to the workspace by Matter, e.g., CUSTOM2="91003"
IManDocumentFolders oFolders = oWorkspace.DocumentFolders;
if (oFolders.Empty == false)
{
for(int i=1; i<=oFolders.Count; i++)
{
// Check the individual folder
IManFolder oFldr = oFolders.ItemByIndex(i);
// Check the AdditionalProperties Collection belonging to the folder
IManAdditionalProperties oAPs = oFldr.AdditionalProperties;
// Check for Custom2 AdditionalProperty
if(oAPs.ContainsByName("IMan___26")) // IMan___26 represents CUSTOM2
{
MessageBox.Show(oAPs.ItemByName("IMan___26").Value);
Environment.Exit(0);
}
}
}
}
this.Close();
