Hi,

I am wanting to learn how to interact with WorkSite Server using the WorkSite SDK and would like to know if there are any resources available that I can use to self-learn?

My company has the SDK (8.5) and I was wanting to learn how to use the SDK so that we can extend WorkSite to make tasks such as administration easier for our department.

I am, for example, wanting to build an application that would allow for users to be removed and added to a role.

I am somewhat familiar with the basics of VB.NET development, but am stuggling to learn how to call the different functions of the SDK. If anyone has any resources that they could point me towards I would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

OK, I have found some PDF's that were hiding on my PC when I installed the SDK, one of them - the WorkSite DB Administratiors COM Developers Reference Guide, has helped me somewhat and I can now see the types of objects that I can interface with, however I am stumbling on showing the members of a group.

My code is as follows. This is for a VB.NET Windows Forms application.


Dim ObjNRDMS As IMANADMIN.NRTDMS
        Dim ObjSessions As IMANADMIN.NRTSessions
        Dim ObjSession As IMANADMIN.NRTSession
        Dim ServerName As String
        ServerName = "SERVERNAME"
        ' Create the NRTDMS object
        ObjNRDMS = GetObject("IMANADMIN.NRTDMS")
        ' Add the Server to the NRTSessions object and
        ' get a NRTSession object for the server
        ObjSessions = ObjNRDMS.Sessions
        ObjSessions.Add(ServerName)
        ObjSession = ObjSessions.Item(1)
        ' Login to the Server
        ObjSession.TrustedLogin()

        Dim ObjDBs As IMANADMIN.NRTDatabases
        Dim ObjDB As IMANADMIN.NRTDatabase
        Dim ObjGroup As IMANADMIN.NRTGroup
        ' ObjSession is a previously defined NRTSession object
        ' Get the first database defined for ObjSession object
        ObjDBs = ObjSession.Databases
        ObjDB = ObjDBs.Item(1)
        ObjGroup = ObjDB.GetGroup("TEST")
        txtOutput.AppendText(ObjGroup.Users.ToString)

However, when I debug this code in Visual Studio (2008), I get the error Cannor create ActiveX component at the line

ObjNRDMS = GetObject("IMANADMIN.NRTDMS")

I have run regsvr32 iManAdmin.dll.

Can anyone offer any assistance on this problem?

I have read on page 21 of the DB Admin COM guide that it mentions to execute iManAdmin - REGSERVER from the command prompt, however this will not work for me with Windows reporting that the file doesnt have a open with program set.

I am running Windows 7 64bit.

Thanks,

Matt

I'm not sure what is in the manual (haven't looked there in a while, probably should check it out again to refresh my memory), but registering the imanadmin.dll is probably not enough if you don't have other components already installed on your machine. The only times that I've used the imanadmin.dll was on a server that already had other imanage components installed along with actual server software, or where I had already installed DeskSite (and thus imanage.dll and various related components). Then just a regular regsrv32.exe imanadmin.dll did the trick.

Also helpful if you're programming in .NET is referencing the interops in your project. This allows you to not only write and compile code when not all actual components are installed on your development machine, but also gives you easy access to investigating the object model in Visual Studio's object browser.

In VB.NET the GetObject function attempts to fetch an existing instance of the target class, but in your code sample you haven't created one yet.

In any caseyour syntax is wrong, because you would pass the class name (i.e. "IMANADMIN.NRTDMS") as the second parameter, not the first

Either use CreateObject or (better still) just use the New keyword. Something like this:

Dim ObjNRDMS As IMANADMIN.NRTDMS = New IMANADMIN.NRTDMS

Then get rid of your line with the GetObject statement

Also I believe that to use the IManAdmin library the user you log in as has to be a member of the NRTADMIN group. You're using the TrustedLogin method which means that the user that runs your code will have to be a member of NRTADMIN for it to work

Hi,

I think you have to be a local administrator to register the imanadmin.dll. And when you want to do this on a 64-bit machine, you have to use the regsvr32 in the syswow64 path of windows (because its a 32-bit dll).

Thanks all for your assistance, I ahve ended up using the Interop.iManAdmin.dll as this worked without an issue and there is no gurantee that my application will be executed on a PC with the SDK installed.

Thanks to all for your assistance, it is greatly appreciated.
