Example

The following code example modifies the permissions to a list for the specified collection of existing users, site groups, and cross-site groups. The example assumes the existence of a local XML file that contains information about the users and groups, which is loaded into a System.Xml.XmlDocument object. This example requires that a using (C#) or Imports (Microsoft Visual Basic) directive be included for the System.Xml namespace

Dim permService As New Web_Reference_Folder_Name.Permissions()
permService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

Dim myDocument As New XmlDocument()
myDocument.Load("C:\\File_Name.xml")

Dim ndPermissions As XmlNode = myDocument.DocumentElement

Try

    permService.AddPermissionCollection("List_Name", "List", ndPermissions)

    Catch ex As System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException

        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message + ControlChars.Lf + ex.Detail.OuterXml + ControlChars.Lf + ex.StackTrace)

End Try

Web_Reference_Folder_Name.Permissions permService = new Web_Reference_Folder_Name.Permissions();
permService.Credentials= System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

XmlDocument myDocument = new XmlDocument();
myDocument.Load("C:\\\\File_Name.xml");

XmlNode ndPermissions = myDocument.DocumentElement;

try
{
   permService.AddPermissionCollection("List_Name", "List", ndPermissions);
}

catch (System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException ex)
{
   MessageBox.Show(ex.Message + " \n::\n " + ex.Detail.OuterXml + " \n::\n " + ex.StackTrace);
}
