Hi Mario,

I used Fiddler and I see UpdateAndCommitItem() being called when I change the category of an item using Vault Explorer.

http://justonesandzeros.typepad.com/blog/2012/03/fiddling-with-the-vault-api.html

I tested using UpdateAndCommitItem() to change the ItemTypId property of the item in this SDK example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Autodesk Vault 2014 SDK\VS10\VB\ItemEditor

I added a button to the MainForm and added the following code. It is changing the category of the selected item in my tests.

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim myItem As Item = Nothing

Try

' Using this to get the category to change the Item to

' On the form select the dropdown for the Type (category).

' Not using the Title so just leave it blank and hit ok

Dim form As New CreateItemForm(m_connection)

form.ShowDialog()

If form.DialogResult <> DialogResult.OK Then

Return

End If

' Get the latest item

Dim itemRev As Item = m_connection.WebServiceManager.ItemService.GetLatestItemByItemNumber(m_selectedItem.ItemNum)

'Edit the item

myItem = m_connection.WebServiceManager.ItemService.EditItem(itemRev.RevId)

'Change the category of the item

myItem.ItemTypId = form.Category.Id

'commit

m_connection.WebServiceManager.ItemService.UpdateAndCommitItem(myItem, _

0,

False, Nothing, Nothing, _

Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, _

Nothing, 2)

Catch ex As Exception

If Not myItem Is Nothing Then

m_connection.WebServiceManager.ItemService.UndoEditItems(

New Long() {myItem.Id})

End If

MessageBox.Show("Error occurred " + ex.ToString())

End Try

End Sub

Please let me know if this does not provide a solution.

Thanks,

Wayne
