如何编写Vault插件扩展Vault Explorer的功能

今天练习了一下Vault Explorer的扩展程序,基本上是Vault SDK中的HelloWord示例程序。如果你刚刚开始接触Vault的二次开发,希望对你有帮助。

开始之前,你需要安装Vault SDK, 安装Vault client或者Vault Server后,在安装目录下你都能找到Vault SDK的安装程序,把这个SDK安装一下,一般会安装到C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Autodesk Vault 2014 SDK目录下。这个SDK对于Vault开发非常重要,里面包括Vault开发文档、示例程序和一些必要的程序集。

另外还有重要的博客: http://justonesandzeros.typepad.com

这个例子就是要扩展Vault Explorer的功能,在选中文件时的右键菜单中参加添加一个自定义命令,执行这个命令时查看选中文件的大小。好了,现在开始操练起来。 首先启动Visual Studio创建一个Class library的项目。对于Vault 2014,.net framework选择4.0。然后添加一些必要的引用,对于这个例子需要添加的引用如下,所有这些程序集都可以从Vault SDK中找到:

"Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.dll"

"Autodesk.Connectivity.Explorer.Extensibility.dll"

"Autodesk.Connectivity.Extensibility.Framework.dll"

Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.dll

Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework..Vault.dll

如何编写Vault插件扩展Vault Explorer的功能

对于这些引用,要把Copy Local改成false,因为Vault Explorer都已经包含这些程序集了。

下面来写点代码,对于Vault Explorer扩展程序,必须给程序集的AssemblyInfo中添加以下5个程序集属性,否则的话你的扩展程序将不能进行:

//必须包含下面5个程序集属性,否则不能运行
//[assembly: AssemblyCompany("Autodesk")]
//[assembly:AssemblyProduct("HelloWorldVaultExplorerExtension")]
//[assembly:AssemblyDescription("This is a sample application to extend vault explorer")] //这里的GUID可以用Visual Studio的工具生成, 工具-->生成GUID
[assembly: Autodesk.Connectivity.Extensibility.Framework.ExtensionId("9FB25A13-242C-4BAE-93B5-B08D77B619CA")]
//对应Vault的版本号,对应Vault 2014,版本号为6.0
[assembly: Autodesk.Connectivity.Extensibility.Framework.ApiVersion("6.0")]

.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre
{
font-size: small;
color: black;
font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace;
background-color: #ffffff;
/*white-space: pre;*/
}
.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
.csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }
.csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
.csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }
.csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }
.csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }
.csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }
.csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }
.csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }
.csharpcode .alt
{
background-color: #f4f4f4;
width: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }

一般前面三个是通用的,VS都已经加好了你只要保证他们的值正确就行了,查看的方法就是,进入项目的属性,程序选项卡,上面有个程序集信息按钮:

如何编写Vault插件扩展Vault Explorer的功能

为了让Vault Explorer认识这是Vault explorer的插件,我们还需要定义一个.vcet.config文件,这个就是一个xml,内容如下,你可以从Vault SDK中的帮助文件中找到模版,把内容改一下就行了。注意其中加粗的部分,格式的 “程序集名.类名, 程序集名”:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<connectivity.ExtensionSettings3>
<extension
interface="Autodesk.Connectivity.Explorer.Extensibility.IExplorerExtension, Autodesk.Connectivity.Explorer.Extensibility, Version=18.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=aa20f34aedd220e1"
type="HelloWorldVaultExplorer.HelloWorld, HelloWorldVaultExplorer">
</extension>
</connectivity.ExtensionSettings3>
</configuration>

.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre
{
font-size: small;
color: black;
font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace;
background-color: #ffffff;
/*white-space: pre;*/
}
.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
.csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }
.csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
.csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }
.csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }
.csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }
.csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; }
.csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }
.csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }
.csharpcode .alt
{
background-color: #f4f4f4;
width: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }

 

在Build时要把这个文件拷贝到输出目录:

然后添加一个public的类,并且实现IExplorerExtension接口, 下面是全部代码,包括注释:

using Autodesk.Connectivity.Explorer.Extensibility;
using Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Text;

using VDF = Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework; //必须包含下面5个程序集属性,否则不能运行

[assembly: Autodesk.Connectivity.Extensibility.Framework.ExtensionId("9FB25A13-242C-4BAE-93B5-B08D77B619CA")]
//对应Vault的版本号,对应Vault 2014,版本号为6.0
[assembly: Autodesk.Connectivity.Extensibility.Framework.ApiVersion("6.0")] namespace HelloWorldVaultExplorer
{
public class HelloWorld :IExplorerExtension
{
public IEnumerable<CommandSite> CommandSites()
{
//创建一个HelloWorld Command对象
CommandItem helloWorldCmdItem = new CommandItem("HelloWorldCommandItem", "Hello World - Daniel");
helloWorldCmdItem.NavigationTypes = new SelectionTypeId[] { SelectionTypeId.File, SelectionTypeId.FileVersion };
helloWorldCmdItem.MultiSelectEnabled = false;
helloWorldCmdItem.Hint = "这是一个对File和FileVersion的helloworld命令";
helloWorldCmdItem.ToolbarPaintStyle = PaintStyle.TextAndGlyph; //绑定Execute事件
helloWorldCmdItem.Execute += helloWorldCmdItem_Execute; //创建一个CommandSite
CommandSite toolBarCmdSite = new CommandSite("HelloWorldCommand.Toolbar","Hello World Menu - Daniel");
toolBarCmdSite.Location = CommandSiteLocation.AdvancedToolbar;
toolBarCmdSite.DeployAsPulldownMenu = false;
toolBarCmdSite.AddCommand(helloWorldCmdItem); //创建另一个Command site绑定到File的右键菜单
CommandSite fileContextCmdSite = new CommandSite("HelloWorldCommand.FileContextMenu", "Hello World Menu - Daniel")
{
Location = CommandSiteLocation.FileContextMenu,
DeployAsPulldownMenu = false
};
fileContextCmdSite.AddCommand(helloWorldCmdItem); //把刚才创建的两个command site放在一个list里
List<CommandSite> sites = new List<CommandSite>();
sites.Add(toolBarCmdSite);
sites.Add(fileContextCmdSite); //返回CommandSite列表
return sites; } void helloWorldCmdItem_Execute(object sender, CommandItemEventArgs e)
{
try
{
//using VDF = Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework
VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.Connection connection = e.Context.Application.Connection; if (e.Context.CurrentSelectionSet.Count() == 0)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Nothing is selected");
}
else if (e.Context.CurrentSelectionSet.Count() > 1)
{
MessageBox.Show("Thhis function does not support multiple selections");
}
else
{
//找到选中的对象
ISelection selection = e.Context.CurrentSelectionSet.First(); File selectedFile = null;
if (selection.TypeId == SelectionTypeId.File)
{
// our ISelection.Id is really a File.MasterId
selectedFile = connection.WebServiceManager.DocumentService.GetLatestFileByMasterId(selection.Id); }
else if (selection.TypeId == SelectionTypeId.FileVersion)
{
// our ISelection.Id is really a File.Id
selectedFile = connection.WebServiceManager.DocumentService.GetFileById(selection.Id);
} if (selectedFile == null)
{
MessageBox.Show("Selection is not a file.");
}
else
{
// 演示,看看文件的大小
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Hello World! The file size is: {0} bytes",
selectedFile.FileSize));
} }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// If something goes wrong, we don't want the exception to bubble up to Vault Explorer.
MessageBox.Show("Error: " + ex.Message);
}
} public IEnumerable<CustomEntityHandler> CustomEntityHandlers()

}
}

.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre
{
font-size: small;
color: black;
font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier, monospace;
background-color: #ffffff;
/*white-space: pre;*/
}
.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
.csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; }
.csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
.csharpcode .str { color: #006080; }
.csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; }
.csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; }

.csharpcode .html { color: #800000; }
.csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; }
.csharpcode .alt
{
background-color: #f4f4f4;
width: 100%;
margin: 0em;
}
.csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }

现在编译一下,发现会提示如下错误信息:

Error    1    The type 'Microsoft.Web.Services3.WebServicesClientProtocol' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Services3, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'.    c:\users\duda\documents\visual studio 11\Projects\HelloWorldVaultExplorer\HelloWorldVaultExplorer\HelloWorld.cs    89    25    HelloWorldVaultExplorer

按照提示,我们需要添加到'Microsoft.Web.Services3的引用,这需要下载安装Microsoft Web Service Extensions(WSE)3.0 ,放狗搜一下就好了,很好找。另外还需要添加引用System.web.services. 你可以看一下这个博客http://justonesandzeros.typepad.com/blog/2010/03/file-transfer-as-binary-data.html .现在应该编译成功了.

然后就是部署和调试了:

部署Vault Explorer扩展程序,要把你的程序集部署到%ProgramData%/Autodesk/Vault 2014/Extensions/目录中,直接在文件浏览器中敲上面的路径就行了,如果%ProgramData%/没有定义,在Windows XP 和 Windows 20013中一般是 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data,在Vista和win 7/8中一般是C:\ProgramData。然后你需要在%ProgramData%/Autodesk/Vault 2014/Extensions/目录中创建一个文件夹,虽然可以是任意的名字,但最后和你的程序名称一致,比如我的程序这里叫HelloWorldVaultExplorer,那我就创建一个文件夹:C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Vault 2014\Extensions\HelloWorldVaultExplorer,然后把所有的输出文件拷贝到这里来。

好了,现在可以启动Vault Explorer来检验一下我们的成果了,选中一个文件点右键,我的自定义命令已经添加了,执行时就显示该文件的大小。成果,庆祝!

最后再说说调试,一般开发程序都需要大量调试,对于Vault插件的调试也很简单,前文书已经说了自定义插件的位置,也创建了相关目录,我们可以把程序的输出目录指向那里,然后在VS项目属性的debug选项卡中选择启动外部程序,指向Vault Explorer的启动程序 C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Vault Professional 2014\Explorer\Connectivity.VaultPro.exe,另外把工作目录也指向C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Vault Professional 2014\Explorer\,然后在代码中设置端口,按F5启动,应该就能看到断点了:
