Works in 7.5 and 8.2 BUT NOT in 8.1.111 ???

TheGDog

Our application uses the IManage WorkSite 7.5.1 SDK in order to be able to allow the users to Browse into their DMS server.... choose a document.... return a DocID moniker string... we save that string within our app.

Once that string is saved within our app... we use the SDK to allow users to open that document (with a click of a button from within our app) from within their DMS server by using the DocID moniker string.

We have one client which uses WorkSite v8.1.111. For them... at a certain point in the execution of this same code...

an exception occurs stating only "Not implemented."

***This same client on a test workstation installed DeskSite 8.2 and the same linkage code now worked properly without error. I also confirmed this on my development machine by setting up a v8.2 server in-house.

Since the release of WorkSite v8.2 is fairly new. Their IT staff is reluctant to perform the rollout of v8.2 to all the desktop machines just yet.

Meanwhile... our client is stuck unable to utilize this functionality we've worked into our app.

I'm going to post a snippet of code from our stand-alone simple tester app.... the inner-most procedure where the exception occurs. What I would like is for somebody to help [show me]/[explain to me] why my code works against a WorkSite v7.5 server and against a WorkSite v8.2 server.... but not against a WorkSite v8.1.111 server.

Which method, GetDocument or GetObjectBySID, throws the "Not Implemented" error? Is this late-bound code? If so, is the dms object created as IManage.NRTDMS or IManage.ManDMS? If not, is it C#. It looks like it is but not sure. If it's the latter, did you reference the interop dll or the actual registered imanage.dll. Would you send in your DLL as an attachment so that I can try to reproduce it?
