Hi all,

I'm currently investigating custom check-in policies. I've got the basic structure of one up and running. So far so good.

What I would like to do is check the item that is being checked-in to see if it conforms to certain internal coding standards. To do that I need to look inside the file itself - I will then probably use XQuery to look at the contents of it.

Anyway, my question is, how can I actually take a look inside the item? The pendingChange object provides useful information such as the name of the file being checked-in, but it doesn't contain the path of the file. If it did then I could probably instantiate it as an XML document.

Any pointers would be very much welcomed.

Found a great resource here: http://blogs.msdn.com/jimpresto/archive/2005/01/05/347074.aspx that gave me the main part of the answer. pendingChange.LocalItem gives me the path of the file. Simple really!

Now I just need to instantiate it as an XML document. I'm no C# expert hence I'm winging this a bit. So, if anyone has some advice on how to do that it would be most welcomed.

Thanks

Hey jamie,

You can check out the MSDN help page on XmlDocument. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.aspx
