2009 Vault API

[Anonymous]

The vaultlist.exe and VaultBrowser.exe files for the API are Great. Where can I go to get more information on this stuff?

Autodesk Developer Network is a great place to go
for this sort of information.  They provide top noch support for all the
major Autodesk APIs including Vault and Productstream.  They also provide a
knowledge base, additional sample code and webcasts.

This newsgroup is also a good spot for additional
API information.

Regarding the questions from your earlier
post...

The API is also consumed by the Autodesk clients
such as Vault Explorer, Inventor and AutoCAD.  When new features get added,
it sometimes causes the API to change.  We try to keep the changes to a
minimum, but that is not always possible.

In the case of FindFilesBySearchConditions, we
found that large searches would slow the entire system down.  To fix the
situation, we re-wrote the function so that there is a limit to the amount of
data that can be returned in a single call.  You can simulate the old
behavior by creating a WHILE loop as illustrated in the sample code for the
FindFilesBySearchConditions method (sorry that the code is only in C#). 
Let me know if you have any questions.

O.K. thanks you for the promt response to this inquiry. The ADN sounds like a pretty cool network for what I am doing. I'll give it some consideration. Thanks again.
