Get Vault Connection in Addin

peteh — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 15:13:29 GMT

VB.NET

In an addin code, is there a way to assign "m_conn" to the existing Vault login connection? The user is already signed in and connected to Vault, so there should be a way to use that connection?

In external code (not in an addin) I do this..

Public m_conn As VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.Connection

Dim LoginResults As VDF.Vault.Results.LogInResult = VDF.Vault.Library.ConnectionManager.LogIn(sLocalHost, sVault, "Administrator", "", VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.AuthenticationFlags.Standard, Nothing)

m_conn = LoginResults.Connection

This link was the answer for me using IExplorerExtension.OnLogOn ...

Public Sub OnLogOn(application As IApplication) Implements IExplorerExtension.OnLogOn

Dim oConn = application.Connection

End Sub
