Check if user is connected to the vault

[Anonymous]

Hi community!

I'm developing a console app that communicates with Inventor 2017 by using the API. I'd like to check if the user is connected to the vault.

I've find that code but the VaultBase namespace does not exist.

https://adndevblog.typepad.com/manufacturing/2016/03/inventor-add-in-that-gets-the-status-of-a-file-... 

Dim myConnection As VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.Connection = Nothing
    ' Get the Vault connection from Inventor Vault log in
    myConnection =
        Connectivity.Application.VaultBase.ConnectionManager.Instance.Connection()

    If myConnection Is Nothing Then
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show _
                            ("Unable to get Vault connection, logged into Vault?")
        ' Debug.Print("Unable to get Vault connection")
        Return
    End If

I added all references to Autodesk.Connectivity.* and Autodesk.DataManagement.*.

Thanks,

Pascal

You could also take a look at the EDM add in!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Would this work for you?

AddReference "Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.Vault"
AddReference "Connectivity.InventorAddin.EdmAddin"
Imports VDF = Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework
Imports edm = Connectivity.InventorAddin.EdmAddin

Dim Connection As VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.Connection = edm.EdmSecurity.Instance.VaultConnection()
If Connection IsNot Nothing
	MsgBox("Vault connection exists")
Else
	MsgBox("No Vault connection")
End If

Thanks @JhoelForshav, it works like a charm but I had to add these references:

• Autodesk.Connectivity.Extensibility.Framework.dll
• Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.dll
• Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.Interop.dll
• Autodesk.DataManagement.Addin.Framework.dll
• Autodesk.DataManagement.Addin.Vault.dll
• Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.dll
• Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.Forms.dll
• Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.Vault.dll
• Connectivity.Common.dll
• Connectivity.InventorAddin.EdmAddin.dll

Any idea on how to refresh the connection status? If I lose the network connection to the Vault server, EdmSecurity.Instance.VaultConnection.IsConnected stays true.

I cannot find Connectivity.InventorAddin.EdmAddin.dll, do you know how to get it? I need it for Vault 2021
