How can I make sure that Groove are works?

[Maxi]

Hello,

sorry for my english, I use a translater and hope you can understand
me.

I would like to read the workspaces about my program in VB, but I am
not shure that groove is running.

How can I test it and start groove when the client is not running?

A other question is, how can I read the description from the
workspace? It is possible that I read the fingerprint from a known
member in different workspaces?

If exist any documentations about programming with VB and Groove, can
you give me the links for download or titel of books?

It is very interessting to work with groove, but I think the
documentations are not available.

Thanks a Lot for your understanding and help.

Kind regards,
Maximilian

Hi Maximilian,

I don't entirely understand your questions, but you can find general
information on programming for Groove 2007 at the developer portal,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/bb308957.aspx. Look at the topics
under Technical Articles. Also, download the Software Development Kit if you
don't already have it. This download includes documentation on the Groove
Forms API and the Groove Web Services API.

(This is assuming you have Groove 2007. I am confused by your references to
VB.)

Hi,

Integration between Groove and VB (or C#) applications is done by using
Groove Web Services.
(Have a look to the SDK)

A first web services allows you to list accounts and identities
Then you will be able to read workspaces content (information, tools list,
tools content...etc).

In your request, you will have to specify the identity (Unique Identifier)
you would like to use.
If the identity is not logged on, you will be asked to log on. (the logon
window will appears)
If you cancel log on process, your request will return an error / exception
