Accessing rightID

I'm using the LLTreeView example provided since I'm trying to get an idea how livelink works. After getting a node for a file, how would one go about accessing the rightID? I know the rightID is in there somewhere I jsut can't come up wuith a way to get it out.

I added new fields to the node class to hold the value in the node object but again I'm not sure where I'd write the rightID into those new fields.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Jonathon.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but the Node SDO has a Permissions property that will get you a NodePermissions object you might find useful. Also, the DocumentManagement service has a getNodeRights method that might also be useful.

It's probably pretty simple to do, but I'm still learning. Supposed i had a text box that was associated with a node like in the code below (most of its taken from the LLTreeView example)name.Text = node.Name;
modifyDate.Text = node.ModifyDate.ToString();
createDate.Text = node.CreateDate.ToString();
ID.Text = node.ID.ToString();
permission1.Text = node.Permissions.ModifyPermission.ToString();
permission2.Text = node.Permissions.DeletePermission.ToString();
//rightId.Text =

I would like to be able to display the rightID of the node in the rightId.Text segment. Basically I need to know if a group/set of users has access to the file based on the rightID, and be able to change the rightID if the access isn't what I want it to be.

// Assign various data to the fields on the form

er sorry.. didnt realize their were multiple rightIDs.. but if i wanted to be able to look at the rightIDs associated with a particular node/file how would I do it, I still don't really understand

Hi, Jonathon.

The NodeRight object has the RightID property that I think you're looking for.

The NodeRights object has a few properties that provide access to NodeRight objects.

You can call DocumentManagement.GetNodeRights() to get a NodeRights object for a given Node ID.

Node Right has the ID I'm interested in, but when i try to use sayDocumentManagement.NodeRights.OwnerRight it says an object reference is required for the non-static field method od property.

This means their isn't an instance of this object doesn't it? If so I'd have to create that object, but how would i tie it to the node I'm accessing right now so that the OwnerRight value is the proper value.

Again, I'm using the LLTreeView Example, and I'm trying to be able to display the various rightIDs associated with a node when it's created in TreeCtl.cs (in the function: void treeView1_AfterSelect(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e)

You have to call the GetNodeRights() method in order to access NodeRight objects in order to access RightIDs.

NodeRights nodeRights = fDocManService.GetNodeRights(fDocsAuthentication, nodeID);

Be sure to check that a property (e.g. ACLRights) is not null before trying to use it.
