Vault API's

Tom · Post by **Tom** » Thu Mar 17, 2005 2:52 pm

We have some scripts that we built to "get latest" from VSS. Do es Valut have a set of API's that I can use to call and get latest version within Visual Studio .NET2003?

Thanks

Tom

I'm confused as to what you want. Do you want full VS.Net integration with get, checkout, checkin? Vault can do that. Do you want a command line client to get the latest version? Vault can do that as well. Do you want to program against the Vault libraries? Vault can also do that.

I know Vault can do full check in/check out. So I'm OK here.

Yes, I'd like examples of how to get latest version from the command line. Can you send me examples of how to get latest "labeled" version from .net? C# example would be great!

While I'm not sure I want to program against the Vault library, I'd like to learn more.

Thanks

Tom

It's in c:\program files\sourcegear\vault client\vault.exe

You can get specific information about the command line tool with the command

Code: Select all

vault.exe help

and help on one of its commads with

Code: Select all

vault.exe help command

The quick answer to downloading a label to a non-working folder is

Code: Select all

vault getlabel -host vault.company.com -user "Build User" -password  "MyPassword" -repository "QA" -destfolder "C:\builds\sourcetree" "$/Automated Tests" "My Label"

To get the label to your current working folders, use:

Code: Select all

vault getlabel -host vault.company.com -user "Build User" -password  "MyPassword" -repository "QA" "$/Automated Tests" "My Label"
