Hi,
There is a requirement for a dot net application to read and write data to/from Groove Time tracker tool. The Groove SDK neither has any API's or code to do the same nor I get code from google search.

I am looking for directions to go ahead.

Thanks and regards,
Rishi

New Post: login without groove execution

voicerow — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 07:08:28 GMT

is this possible?

Most of groove sample sources play while groove's status is login or execution.

But I want to make some other application with groove's tools or functionalities like add-on.

I coudn't find reference about login process without groove's execution.

If it is possible, answer me please about reference or code or yes/no.

thx you . have good days

CREATED ISSUE: How do I connect my Issue Tracker to automatically update a calendar in Groove?

mf0978 — Tue, 06 May 2008 17:46:23 GMT

I want to be able to create a field in the issue tracker that will automatically link it to a calendar and have it update the calendar with that date and what the appointment or due date is without doing anything other than entering in a date in the issue tracker? I am having a hard time finding this information. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

NEW POST: Download Groove document by ID

vkle — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:25:30 GMT

I have FileUpdated event handler with following proto:
private void filesToolOnFileUpdatedEvent(File iFile);

Updated file ID (i_File.ID) queued for further use.

How can I download file by file ID?
If I can't do that only with ID, what additional data I should use for this?

Thanks!

A C# .NET assembly that provides an abstraction layer for all of Groove 3.1 and Groove 2007 web services. The goal of the abstraction layer is to provide an easy to use API, with an object and eventing model, so that applications that interact with Groove can be built quickly and in a straight forward manner.

The core project was originally created to shield developers from having to write 80-90% of the same code, again and again, when directly consuming the .wsdl files provided in the Groove/Office SDKs. Since then the core project has been updated to add features/functionality to allow the creation of robust enterprise integration applications, given that the same web services that exist for the Groove client also exist for the Groove Data Bridge server.

GrooveWebServicesV12Helpers_Sources.zip contains the sources for the core project.

GrooveWebServicesV12HelpersProjects_Sources.zip contains the sources for the core project and command line utilities built on top of it

GrooveWebServicesV12HelpersProjects_Binaries.zip contains the DLLs and EXEs that will result from compiling the sources in project above

Overview of Web Services Helpers Classes for Groove 2007 contains some documentation.

Also please see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb187372.aspx for some dev articles.

Thanks to Paresh, there is a new solution available. Groove Workspaces persist data in encrypted databases, making it difficult to expose mechanisms to snap into search products like Windows Desktop Search. The need to be able to search content has increasingly grown to the point that we can’t wait for the product to be modified to add this functionality. As a result, Paresh created this to export data from Groove workspaces and produce XHTML files that can be easily searched as well as viewed from within a browser.
GrooveDataExportersProjects.zip contains the sources for the relevant projects to create this Windowed app that runs in the systray icon and exports running spaces to disk on a periodic basis.

I added a new utility - GrooveInfoPathForms - that can import and export xml from Groove InfoPath Forms tools.

There is limited documentation for the core project. I encourage people to look at the sources in GrooveWebServicesV12HelpersProjects to get a feel for how to use the core project. Feel free to post comments/questions in the Developer Forum.
