public

baseClass[] getExportItems(string strNamespaceId)

{

//string export = "CAMID(\"" + strNamespaceId + "\")//Export";

string export = "/adminFolder/importDeployment[@name=''MY DEPLOYMENT PACKAGE"]";

propEnum[] props = new propEnum[] { propEnum.deployedObjectDefaultName, propEnum.defaultName, propEnum.searchPath };

baseClass[] exportObjects = new baseClass[] { };

searchPathMultipleObject spMulti = new searchPathMultipleObject();

spMulti.Value = export;

try

{

exportObjects = cmService.query(spMulti, props,

new sort[] { }, new queryOptions());

}

catch (SoapException exSoap)

{

SoapExceptionHandler objEx = new SoapExceptionHandler(exSoap);

MessageBox.Show(objEx.Details + objEx.Message + objEx.ErrorCode + objEx.Severity);

}

return exportObjects;

}
