Hi,
I need to compare a file in vault with the downloaded copy ( in user working directory) programmatically (IOM/VB).
I only need to know if they are identical or not !
Any clues ?
Regards,
Vikram Jain

Hi Vikram,
I didn't something like that in a developement for the Autocad connector for which you can find sources on prodeos.codeplex.com
Not sure my method was really good but it worked to check if the local version was the latest one.
you can check this : http://prodeos.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/48811#944446
watch the method called : GetLocalFileinfo()
and then get back to this form: http://prodeos.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/48811#944463
and look for CheckCachedFileStatusToolStripMenuItem_Click()
Good luck !
Yoann

Vikram,
My first thought when reading this was to run a checksum/hash (e.g. md5 or sha1) against each file and compare. But I would have no clue how to program that up. I took a quick look at the code Yoann pointed you to, and it uses md5 checksums, so that might be useful for ideas.
