Create Custom Card View Example (C#)
This example shows how to create a custom file card
view.
NOTE: If using the .NET Framework 4.0 primary interop assembly
provided with SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, see
Using .NET Framework 4.0 in
Stand-alone Applications.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
// a. Click File > New > Project > Visual C# > Windows
Forms Application.
// b. Type CustomCardView_CSharp in Name.
// c. Click Browse and navigate to the folder where to
create the project.
// d. Click OK.
// e. Click Show All Files in the Solution Explorer
toolbar and expand
// Form1.cs in the Solution Explorer.
// f. Replace the code in Form1.cs with
this code.
// g. To create the form, replace the code in
Form1.Designer.cs with
// this code.
// 2. Add EPDM.Interop.epdm.dll as a reference (right-click the project
// name in the Solution Explorer, click Add Reference,
click
// Assemblies > Framework in the left-side panel,
browse to the top folder of
// your SolidWorks Enterprise PDM installation, locate and
click
// EPDM.Interop.epdm.dll, click Open, and click
Add).
// 3. Add Microsoft.VisualBasic as a reference (click COM in the left-side panel,
// click Microsoft.VisualBasic, click Add, and click Close).
// 4. Right-click EPDM.Interop.epdm in References, click Properties,
and set
// Embed Interop Types to False to handle
methods that pass arrays of
// structures.
// 5.
Check out a text file from the vault.
// 6. Click Debug > Start Debugging or press F5.
//
// Postconditions:
//
1. Displays the Custom Card View dialog box.
// 2. Select a vault view.
// 3. Click Select file.
// a. In the Select File dialog:
// 1. Click the text file checked out in
Preconditions step 5.
// 2. Click Open.
// b. In the file data card, click the Comment tab.
// c. Type something in Comments.
// 4. Click Save data card.
// 5. Click OK in the message box.
