FindFileElementsBySearchClause command

[o-fischer]

Hello,

     I try to use this command but i always receive 0 result.

I have somme Custom Entities and for each i have somes files linked.

With the GetLinksByParentIds command, i have a list of links, so i extract the long[] from this list.

After i try to search in this list with somes personnal properties.

this is my code:

long

TDPNUMBERid = myuser.getPropertyId("TDP Number", filePropDefs);

List<FileElementSrchCondition> myList = newList<FileElementSrchCondition>();

FileElementSrchCondition cond1 = newFileElementSrchCondition()

                    {

                        FileElementPropDefId = TDPNUMBERid.ToString(),

                        Oper =

SearchOperator.Contains,

                        Val = DocNo

                    };

                    myList.Add(cond1);

FileElementSrchClause myFileElemSrchClause = newFileElementSrchClause()

                    {

                        CondArray=myList.ToArray(),

                        Rule=

SearchRule.Must

                    };

Lnk[] wsLnksList = myuser.userConnection.WebServiceManager.DocumentService.GetLinksByParentIds(newlong[]{myuser.getWSCustomEntityID(myws)},newstring[]{"FILE"});

long[] idsList = (from l in wsLnksList

select l.ToEntId).ToArray();

int bookmark=0;

int _totalhits;

FileElement[] test11 = myuser.userConnection.WebServiceManager.DocumentServiceExtensions.FindFileElementsBySearchClause(myFileElemSrchClause, ref bookmark, condition, idsList, null, out _totalhits);

where condition is a file search condtion array.

I don't understand what i have to define in  FileElementSrchClause?

Can somebody help me?

Thanks.

hi,

have you tried to use FindFilesBySearchConditions instead?

Here is a smal code snippet of my wrapped search function that should work in your case.

public IEnumerable<Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.File> SearchFiles(IEnumerable<SrchCond> conditions,IEnumerable<SrchSort> sorts, int quantity)
{
  var srcSorts = new List<SrchSort>();
  string bookmark = string.Empty;
  SrchStatus status = null;
  var results = new List<Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.File>();

  while (status == null || results.Count < status.TotalHits)
  {
    try
    {
      var result = WebServiceManager.DocumentService.FindFilesBySearchConditions(conditions.ToArray(), srcSorts.ToArray(), new[] { RootFolder.Id }, true, true, ref bookmark, out status);
      if (result == null)
        break;
      results.AddRange(result);
      if (results.Count >= quantity)
        break;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
    }
  }
  return results.Take(quantity);
}

Just call it with a new SrchCond similar as your FileElementSrchCondition.
