Updating a Plug-in to Vault 2014

Things changed just enough to be annoying when updating your plug-in to Vault 2014.  So I thought I would make a quick video on how to update your app.  This is actually me updating DECO 2013 to 2014, which makes for a good real-world example. 

 

Here is a quick summary of my steps, which can be done in any order:

• Updated my file and assembly version numbers (optional)
• Updated my references to use the Vault 2014 SDK DLLs.
• Added reference to Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.dll
• Added reference to Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.Vault.dll
• Deployed to %ProgramData%\Autodesk\Vault 2014\Extensions
• Changed the class implementation from IExtension to IExplorerExtension.
• Updated code to use Connection object instead of creating a WebServiceManager from the VaultContext.
• Fixed any compile errors from web service API changes.
• Removed any code that held a reference to a WebServiceManager.
• Updated .vcet.config file.
• Updated the ApiVersion assembly attribute.
