Hi,
i have an old web application that use COM VB 6.0. I must to connect to Alfresco for add, Checkout, Checkin, CancelCheout, Delete documents, add folders and Query with full text. Is there a possibility to do this functions using vb 6.0 for example using soap toolkit 3.0?
Are there examples?
thanks Federico

I have no experience with VB6, but if you can work with Web Services, you should be fine. All of the WSDL lives in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/alfresco/wsdl. I assume using VB6 with SOAP based web services is similar as in other languages in that you can use the WSDL to generate some client-side objects your program can work with. Have you tried that?

You might be interested in this wiki page if you haven't found it already.

An alternative to using the Alfresco Web Services API would be to use the SOAP binding in CMIS. I'm not suggesting one is better than the other, but simply that you have options.

I don't know if it helps you, but Apache Chemistry has a .NET CMIS API that should work with Alfresco.
