Export Revit Api Data to an external database

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I just followed some tutorials on the web on how to install a revit api project on visual studio, but it seems that revit doesent take on consideration the config file where i stored my connectionstrings.

So my question is: anyone know how to connect my revit application to an sql server database so i can for example store the output of my command into that database? 

Thanks alot

Nouaman

PS: I heard that copying the connection string on the revit.config.exe could be the right answer but im afraid to break my revit

Welcome to the Revit API!

When programming in Revit, you implement either an embedded macro or an add-in DLL.

Both of these are built using .NET and any language you choose.

Please check out the getting started materials for more info on the basics, and tutorials:

Within your .NET add-in, you can set up the configuration in any way you please.

However, obviously, Revit is not going to do this for you, and I hardly expect that fiddling with the Revit configuration is going to affect this in any way.

At least not in the way you would like.

Cheers,

Jeremy
