Sample Code for comparing .dwfx

[dean0267]

Can anybody post some sample codes (C# or VB.NET) including references on how to compare two .dwfx files. please?

I have been searching in this forum and the net but no luck. The Autodesk Design Review API does not provide any sample codes. Sofar I have seen a lot of back and forth discussions, but I would love to see the coding part.

thanks in advance,

Dean

Thank you for your question.

AdCommon.IAdMarkupEditor3_editor = (AdCommon.IAdMarkupEditor3)axCExpressViewerControl1.MarkupEditor; 

AdCommon.IAdComparator_comparator = (AdCommon.IAdComparator)_editor.Comparator; 

try

{

    _comparator.Compare(firstFile, sectionOfFirstFile, sectionFile, sectionOfSecondFile); 

    AdCommon.eCompareResultStatus status = (AdCommon.eCompareResultStatus)_comparator.CompareResultStatus;

    // eCompareResultStatus:

    //   0: The two section have same contents

    //   1: The two section have different contents

    //   2: The two section are not comparable, they have different size or unit.

    //   3: Comparion fails

    AdCommon.IAdCollection resultObjects = _comparator.CompareResultObjects as AdCommon.IAdCollection; 

    foreach (AdCommon.IAdMarkup resultObject in resultObjects)

    {

        // deal with compare results.

    }

}

Please reply back if you have further questions.
