IVersion.Access Property

The version's access permission.

Public Property Access As esriVersionAccess

public esriVersionAccess Access {get; set;}

Errors Returned

FDO_E_SE_NO_PERMISSIONS: Insufficient permissions.

Functional License Check

If your application/site is not appropriately licensed, Access can return an error of FDO_E_NO_OPERATION_LICENSE.

Remarks

The Accessproperty is used to retrieve or set a version's access property. Version access can be private, public or protected. Private versions are only accessible by the version's owner, public versions can be viewed and edited by any user, and protected versions can be viewed by any user but only edited by the owner. Only the owner of a version can change its properties, such as the access.

IVersion.AlterVersion Method

IVersion.CreateChild Method

Creates a new child version of this version whose initial state is the current state of pInitialStateVersion.

Public Function CreateChild ( _
    ByVal Name As String, _
    ByVal initialStateVersion As IVersion _
) As IVersion

public IVersion CreateChild (
    string Name,
    IVersion initialStateVersion
);

IVersion.CreateVersion Method

Creates a new version equivalent to this version.

Public Function CreateVersion ( _
    ByVal newName As String _
) As IVersion

public IVersion CreateVersion (
    string newName
);

Errors Returned

FDO_E_SE_VERSION_EXISTS: Version already exists.

Functional License Check

If your application/site is not appropriately licensed, CreateVersion can return an error of FDO_E_NO_OPERATION_LICENSE.

Remarks

The CreateVersion method allows you to create new version from the existing IVersion. The new version is a child of the current version and is owned by the connected user. The version name is limited to 64 characters and is private by default.

Creating a new version requires an existing version to be the parent of the new version. When the new version is created, the parent and child versions are identical.

IVersion.VersionInfo Property

This version's information.

Public ReadOnly Property VersionInfo As IVersionInfo

public IVersionInfo VersionInfo {get;}

Remarks

The VersionInfo method provides a reference to the IVersionInfointerface. The IVersionInfointerface contains methods which describe the properties of the version. The interface is beneficial for obtaining a version's ancestory, for example its parent version.

VersionInfowill only return versions in which the connected user has the appropriate privileges.

IVersion.VersionLocks Property

This version's locks.

Public ReadOnly Property VersionLocks As IEnumLockInfo

public IEnumLockInfo VersionLocks {get;}
