Creating an Object: the CreateObject Operation

Below is the example of using the CreateObject operation to create a repository object. The request contains basic information required to create an object: identifier, name and object class identifier. Also, the created object is indicated as permanent that enables the user to save the object right after it is created. The parent object is not specified in the object parameters. The object is created in the repository root, which moniker is sent in the tParent parameter of the operation. The response contains description and the created object moniker.

The specified CreateObject function creates a repository object. Repository connection moniker, identifier and identifier of the created object class are sent as input parameters. The result of the function is the result of the operation.

    public static CreateObjectResult CreateObject(MbId mb, string id, ulong classId)
    {
        var somClient = new SomPortTypeClient(); //Proxy object for operation execution
        //Operation execution parameters
        var tCreateObj = new CreateObject()
        {
            tArg = new CreateObjectArg()
            {
                info = new ObjectCreateInfo()
                {
                    classId = classId,
                    id = id,
                    name = id,
                    permanent = true
                }
            },
            tParent = new OdId()
            {
                id = mb.id + "!0" //Parent - repository root folder
            }
        };
        //Create an object
        var result = somClient.CreateObject(tCreateObj);
        return result;
    },
