ArgumentNullException

CentralFileCommunicationException

The file-based central model could not be reached, e.g. the network is down or the file server is down.

CentralModelAccessDeniedException

Access to the central model was denied due to lack of access privileges. -or- Access to the central model was denied. A possible reason is because the model was under maintenance.

CentralModelVersionArchivedException

Last central version merged into the local model has been archived in the central model. This exception could only be thrown from cloud models.

InvalidOperationException

Operation is not permitted when there is any open sub-transaction, transaction, or transaction group.

Remarks

For best performance, check out all worksets in one big call, rather than many small calls.

When there comes a contention error when locking the central model, this API would wait and retry endlessly until getting the lock of the central model.

Example

void CheckoutAllViewWorksets(Document doc)
{
    FilteredWorksetCollector collector = new FilteredWorksetCollector(doc);

    // find all view worksets
    collector.OfKind(WorksetKind.ViewWorkset);
    ICollection<WorksetId> viewworksets = collector.ToWorksetIds();
    ICollection<WorksetId> checkoutworksets = WorksharingUtils.CheckoutWorksets(doc, viewworksets);
    TaskDialog.Show("Checked out worksets", "Number of worksets checked out: " + checkoutworksets.Count);
