CreateRequestLink Method

Creates a new request link.

Syntax

public String createRequestLink(String folderId);

Remarks

This method will create a new request link. The method will then fire the LinkList event, and will populate the Links collection (clearing any previously-held items in the process) with the new request link. It will also return the new request link as a string. FolderId is the ID for the directory where the files will be uploaded in ShareFile. The CreateLinkOptions property can be used to specify the different options for the newly created link.

Note that the string root may be used as a FolderId to represent the root folder, and the string home may be used as a folder Id to represent the home folder for the current user. Other special id's include:

• favorites
• allshared
• connectors
• box
• top

string FolderId = shareFile.CreateFolder("Incoming Folder", "home");
string Link = shareFile.CreateRequestLink(FolderId);
