Update associated file of Vault Item to the latest version

By Wayne Brill

In Vault Explorer you can use the Update command to make the version of an associated file the latest version.

This C# example shows how this update is done through the API using ItemService.PromoteComponents().

You can test this code by adding a button to this SDK sample:

“C:Program Files (x86)AutodeskAutodesk Vault 2014 SDKVS10CSharpItemEditor”

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)    {        if (m_selectedItem == null)        {            MessageBox.Show("Select an Item first");            return;        }             long[] itemRevisionIds = new long[1];        itemRevisionIds[0] = m_selectedItem.RevId;             Item[] itemsToCommit = new Item[0];         long[] itemsToCommit_Ids = new long[0];        try        {                      ItemService itemSvc =                m_connection.WebServiceManager.ItemService;         itemSvc.UpdatePromoteComponents(itemRevisionIds);                 DateTime now = DateTime.Now;            long[] compO =                 itemSvc.GetPromoteComponentOrder(out now);                 ArrayList compOrder = new ArrayList(compO);            ArrayList subSet = new ArrayList();            int setSize = 100;            int setNum = 0;                 //get full sets            while (setNum < compOrder.Count / setSize)            {                subSet = compOrder.GetRange                              (setNum * setSize, setSize);                itemSvc.PromoteComponents              (now, (long[])subSet.ToArray(typeof(long)));                setNum++;            }                 //get remaining set            if (compOrder.Count % setSize > 0)            {                subSet = compOrder.GetRange            (setNum * setSize, compOrder.Count % setSize);                itemSvc.PromoteComponents              (now, (long[])subSet.ToArray(typeof(long)));            }                 ItemsAndFiles result = itemSvc.
