C# api, connect to server instead an EAP

[Fabio Falci]

Hi!
Can I connect to a server instead an EAP?

Code: [Select]

Repository r = new RepositoryClass();
r.OpenFile("test.eap");
// r.OpenServer("connectionString"); ?

Thanks in advance.

The solution is to create an EAP shorcut and OpenFile this EAP.

* EAP shortcut: open EA, connect to server, go to 'File > Save Project Shortcut'.

From the "OpenFile()" EA help:


This is the main point for opening an Enterprise Architect project file from an automation client, and working with the contained objects.

If the required project is a DBMS repository, and you have created a shortcut .EAP file containing the database connection string, you can call this shortcut file to access the DBMS repository.

You can also connect to a SQL database by passing in the connection string itself instead of a filename. A valid connection string can be obtained from the Open Project dialog by selecting a recently opened SQL repository.

Parameters:

· Filename: String - the filename of the Enterprise Architect project to open.
