Hi,

I got an invalid mode exception when I try to write some resources into the
resourcegallery. I got the code which uses Web services to load a whole
directory of resources into the gallery. It work well. I put the similar cod
e
into the CMS project but it gives me the error. I debug through the project
and found it to be in update mode. Why is the system still giving me the
exception?

CmsApplicationContext cmsContext = new CmsApplicationContext();
// Logon to MCMS:
// Assumes that you have Windows Authentication turned on.
WindowsIdentity ident = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity as WindowsIdentity
;

// Make sure to set the context to Update mode (which means you can write
// back to MCMS using PAPI).

cmsContext.AuthenticateUsingUserHandle(ident.Token,PublishingMode.Update);
if (cmsContext.Mode == PublishingMode.Update)
{
foreach(FileSystemInfo fsi in dir.GetFileSystemInfos())
{
FileInfo f = (FileInfo)fsi;
rsg.CreateResource(f.FullName);
i++;
}
}

Please help.

Thanks!

Hi JJ,

you did not retrieve the rsg object using the new context.
The context is bound to the objects.
So if you retrieved rsg using a different context which is not in update
mode this will happen.

You could easily solve this using the following code change:

CmsApplicationContext cmsContext = new CmsApplicationContext();
// Logon to MCMS:
// Assumes that you have Windows Authentication turned on.
WindowsIdentity ident = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity as
WindowsIdentity;

// Make sure to set the context to Update mode (which means you can write
// back to MCMS using PAPI).

cmsContext.AuthenticateUsingUserHandle(ident.Token,PublishingMode.Update);
ResourceGallery rsg_update = cmsContext.Searches.GetByGuid(rsg.Guid) as
ResourceGallery;
if (cmsContext.Mode == PublishingMode.Update)
{
foreach(FileSystemInfo fsi in dir.GetFileSystemInfos())
{
FileInfo f = (FileInfo)fsi;
rsg_update.CreateResource(f.FullName);
cmsContext.CommitAll();
i++;
}
}

Cheers,
Stefan
