Show all packages
The entry point to our Cognos SDK web solution will be Default.aspx. This will be a basic web page that will only contain a listbox control and a command button. The listbox will be populated with all of the package items that exist in the specified Cognos Content Store.
Default.aspx will call the CognosSDK.cs object in order to query the Cognos Content Store for a list of Content Store objects. In this case, we will only be interested in retrieving the list of all Content Store package objects that are of the type packageConfiguration.
The Default.aspx.cs PageLoad() event will contain the following C# code.
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
baseClass[] _bc = _cogSDK.getObjects(_cmService, _CSTypePkg, null);
if (_bc != null)
{
for(int i=0; i<_bc.Length; i++)
{
if ( _bc[i] is packageConfiguration)
{
lstPackages.Items.Add(_bc[i].defaultName.value.ToString());
}
}
}
}
This will require the CognosSDK.cs object to be instantiated in order to access the getObjects() method.
public baseClass[] getObjects(contentManagerService1 _cmService, string _path, string _package)
