RE: [platform-vcm-dev] validateEdit refresh problem

["Zulli, Joseph" <Joseph.Zulli@xxxxxx>]

OK I figured out what the problem was. Hooray!!! I'll share it in the event that someone else comes across this problem.

Inside of the validateEdit() method, it seems that both the checkout and the refresh need to be run inside of a WorkspaceModifyOperation. If they are not, calling refreshLocal() on the checked out resources does not do much for you.

Thanks for the help,

Joe

validateEdit gets called with a handle to the IResource that should be 
edited. It seems as if the checkout operation you are performing changes 
at least the timestamp of the file on the local filesystem, perhaps even its 
content so you should call IResource.refreshLocal before leaving 
validateEdit.

Greetings,
Boris
