Use | “OR” with DefaultAcquisitionOption to Download & CheckOut with AcquireFiles

By Wayne Brill

The Vault 2014 API documentation does not explicitly describe how to  download and checkout a file using AcquireFiles. To do this you can "OR" together the AcquisitionOption enumeration Checkout and Download .

Here is an update to the downloadFile function in the VaultBrowser SDK sample that does a checkout and download.

 

private static void downloadFile

    (VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.Connection

                                   connection,

    VDF.Vault.Currency.Entities.FileIteration

                                        file,

                           string folderPath)

{

    VDF.Vault.Settings.AcquireFilesSettings

        settings = new VDF.Vault.Settings.

           AcquireFilesSettings(connection);

 

    settings.AddEntityToAcquire(file);

 

    settings.DefaultAcquisitionOption =

     VDF.Vault.Settings.AcquireFilesSettings.

              AcquisitionOption.Checkout |

     VDF.Vault.Settings.AcquireFilesSettings.

                 AcquisitionOption.Download;

 

        settings.LocalPath =  new VDF.Currency.

        FolderPathAbsolute(folderPath);

 

    connection.FileManager.AcquireFiles(settings);

}
