Worksite SDK - Checkin Document

abRussB

I'm trying to figure out how to check in a document with the Worksite SDK. I am using the code below which was in the com ref manual, but I am getting an error when I click the button

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Line 96: objCheckinResult = objDoc.CheckInWithResults("filename", imCheckinDisposition.imCheckinNewVersion, imCheckinOptions.imDontKeepCheckedOut)


Private Sub btn_CheckIn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_CheckIn.Click

Dim objCheckinResult As IManCheckinresult
Dim objDoc As IManDocument
'Check in the document with checkin result
objCheckinResult = objDoc.CheckInWithResults(theFileName, imCheckinDisposition.imCheckinNewVersion, imCheckinOptions.imDontKeepCheckedOut)
'Get the profile errors from the checkin result
Dim profErrors As IManProfileErrors = objCheckinResult.ErrorList
'Get the error message
Dim message As String = objCheckinResult.ErrorMessage

End Sub

Also, why does it use filename to check in a doc? Wouldn't it be safer to use the docNum?

The file name has to be the full path and file name of the file you want to check in. You must specify the physical file you want to provide for the check in operation. WorkSite doesn't keep track of where you checked the document out.
