CKO Development Guide (1.07MB, DOC)

The CKO Development Guide includes background and reference information for the COM objects that you can use to develop custom solutions for 80-20 Retention Server. The beta release of 80-20 Retention Server contains Primary Interop Assemblies for these COM libraries which are installed into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).

While these COM libraries are production quality and can be used to develop custom solutions it should be noted that going forward the primary API will be implemented as .Net classes in the RetentionServer.dll assembly and the COM components will be deprecated. These COM components are currently being used by the RetentionServer.dll assembly to provide functionality but will eventually be replaced with native .Net code.

Note that this document does not contain information on searching. Searching is currently carried out using an OLEDB provider. However it is intended that searching functionality will be redeveloped using native .Net classes in a subsequent release of 80-20 Retention Server.

  Retention Server Help file (58KB, Zipped CHM)

This HTML Help file contains very early, partial and incomplete documentation for the .Net API's implemented in the RetentionServer.dll assembly. This documentation is included here to give you a taste of some of the classes that will be available when they are released, and as a basis for discussions in the development forums.
