Reformatted Usage Example

Declare a new repository connection class.

       Private WithEvents MyRepository As New Repository

Connect to the desired Synthesis repository.

       Dim Success As Boolean = False
       Success = MyRepository.ConnectToSQLRepository("SQLServerPath", "SQLDatabaseName")

Get the list of XFRACAS Entities in the current project in the connected repository.

       Dim ListOfXFRACASEntities() As NameIdPair
       ListOfXFRACASEntities = MyRepository.GetAllXFRACASEntities()

Search the Entities for the desired Entity name, to find the Entity ID

       Dim DesiredEntityID As Integer
       For Each Entity As NameIdPair In ListOfXFRACASEntities()
           If Entity.Name = "DesiredEntityName"
              DesiredEntityID = Entity.ID
              Exit For
           End If
       Next

Define an serializable XML Object.

       Dim xmlObject As Object = Nothing
       'populate the xmlObject with values to import

Define the byte array.

       Dim byteArray As Byte() = Nothing

Serialize the xmlObject into the byteArray.

       Dim SerializeSuccess As Boolean
       SerializeSuccess = MyRepository.SerializeXMLObjectToByteArray(byteArray, xmlObject)

Import the XML byte array into the entity desired. In this example, we assume the XML object type describes an Incident.

       Dim ImportXMLSystemID As Integer
       ImportXMLSystemID = MyRepository.ImportXFRACASXML(DesiredEntityID, XFRACASImportType.Incident, byteArray, "XMLFileTitle", "XMLFileDescription")
